RHS Gardens, Wisley - July 2023

 On the hottest day of the week, Angie, Ann, and I popped over to Wisley Gardens.  Ann wanted to photograph dragonflies at the new Hilltop Centre, so we made it our first port of call.

There weren't many dragonflies about, but I managed to get one or two.  We then just wandered the gardens and had lunch before heading home.

Three damsel flies here - can you spot them all?
















Meadow planting - this was a very small area.

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 --------------------------
