St Christina would be proud of you.

Do you want to go?"<br />Always up for an evening out I replied "Yes. Morris who?"<br />Back came the retort "Morris DANCING!"<br />Having retired from clog morris last Spring I'd forgotted about the annual July get together outside the Cumberland Arms - which originally started when Bastille Day landed on a Thursday but has shifted.<br />Anyway I picked Carol up and we drove down to find all the usual suspects from TyneBride, Hexham, the Kingsmen etc. Good craic with old mates and what with chatting by the time I'd worked my way through the crowd to where TyneBridge were it was well into the evening. "Rose & Crown right middle?" says the squire pushing a garland into my hand. "I'm not in kit" says I. "You're in the right colours" says them.<br />So utterly umprepared, and a good stone heavier than when I last did it, I danced out outside the Cumberland.Bentonbaghttp://virginmedia.comnoreply@blogger.com
