Polesdon Lacey - on the last day of 2022

 Three of us from the Camera Club visited Polesdon Lacey today to take photos of their Christmas decorations.   It was a very very wet day, so we were glad we were going to be inside.   Only the ground floor was open, and I think we were told there were 14 Christmas trees.  So, enjoy them as much as we did.



























The following snowy scenes were laid out on a snooker table.  The scenes are all depicting the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas".  The buildings and fir trees were origami and made with sheet music.  It was amazing and quite beautiful.





On this tree, visitors could write their own Christmas message and add it to the tree.


"Cheers" and a Happy, Healthy, and Peaceful Year in 2023 to all my readers.

The Morris Dancers in Horsham - May 2023

 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 --------------------------
