The Collector

Morris Man, very deep in thought!

'One Street' project - It must be Spring, because the traditional Somerset Morris men arrived in our town Square, about 20 of them, and set up outside The Lamb.They come every few months from Spring onwards. Their musicians, and families, and local folk gather as they started dancing, stamping, shouting, singing, jingling the bells on their leg gaiters..it was brilliant! I heard them and managed to get down to the Square with my camera...and by the time I found a good vantage point they were nearly done with the show! I blipped this thoughtful man as they walked back into the pub, or started packing up. Bad timing eh?
Anyone not familiar with this English folk dance tradition just try googling
it. Seems to be enjoying a revival, hereabouts anyway :)
