Village Festivities June 2022

The first weekend in June saw the Village celebrating, with the rest of the UK, Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.  What an achievement and we are all very proud of her.  There had been a Fities Jive evening in the Arbuthnot Hall the previous evening, which I did not attend, but on Sunday most of the villagers got together for a picnic on the green. The green looked very festive with coloured gazebos and flags and bunting on the surrounding houses. A village photo was taken and then there was a tug of war which was great fun.  Girls against boys, married couples against married couples. Sadly it was not very warm, but the rain did hold off.
















The following weekend we all enjoyed the annual Village Fete.  The weather was perfect and we had lots of visitors.   I did not take too many pictures unfortunately as I was quite busy on the Gardening club plant stall a lot of the time.   You might spot a lot of dogs in my photos.  There is an annual Dog Show which is much enjoyed by all dogs and their owners.

The Morris Dancers in Horsham - May 2023

Image
 We should have guessed when we saw some of the Morris Dancers at the Park and Ride bus stop,but we were not prepared for the large number of Morris Dancers gathered outside the Lynd Cross pub in Horsham.    We went in for coffee and watched even more dancers gathering before groups of them dispersed around the town.    Morris dancing is an English folk dance first recorded in 1448.   The dance is based on rhythmic stepping by a group of dancers, often wearing bells on their knees or shoes.  Sticks, Swords, or handkerchiefs are also wielded in tune with the music. This was obviously well organised as the groups of Morris Dancers moved around the town all morning performing their own particular dance.    These are just a few photos I took on my iPhone as we came across them . The drummers were fantastic. More soon --------------------------
