Another great morning’s dancing at The Kineton Farmers’ Market, this time not only celebrating May, but also our dancer Raf’s 70th birthday. Happy Birthday Raf. What better way to ward off the passing decades than dancing with Adderbury Village Morris in this lovely location.

Two hours of our usual sensational dancing in the sunshine, left the locals delighted. There was a brilliant mass Shepherd’s Hey which narrowly avoided Penny Varley’s Pottery stall on the  ‘foot down’….that could have been an expensive way to get her husband Rob involved in Morris dancing.!!!

Raf danced like the young man that he is, proving that Morris dancing is the key to a long, happy and a very fit life. Along with great dancing, there was terrific drumming from Alfie,  some great international Morris ‘horse’ activity, precise ‘Shooting’ and a unique six man Jockey to the Fair. With our Cavalry, ‘guns’ and drums it is hardly surprising that we were reminded that we danced a short distance from the Battlefield of Edgehill. (1642) Thankfully our guns, drums and cavalry brought a message of peace, joy  and dance to Kineton.

Thanks to all for a great event.
