It's staying light til really late
Jun. 9th, 2005 12:13 amWell, I've been out terrorising Buckinghamshire this evening, by dancing rapper at it. Mabel had been invited out for the evening with Towersey morris men - which is always a mixed blessing. One, you have to watch morris dancing, but we'll gloss over that one. Two, morris tours are arranged very differently from rapper tours.
You see, a morris tour will visit one or two pubs, and will do half a dozen dances at each. In the garden, in the carpark, in the road outside (sodding up the traffic), whatever seems like a good plan.
A rapper tour will (ideally) visit as many pubs as it can possibly fit in and which will allow it through the door - once dance in each, a swift drink and on to the next. The pubs should be small, packed, and have wooden floors.
Tonight, however, we have danced in a road and on a patio, because that's where Towersey were dancing. Rapper-wise, it was a bit inferior, though it made for a nice social night out. I got to chat to people. And I got my recorder out, but don't tell anyone. Besides, it keeps us off the streets.
( And the pubs sold beer )
And not a bad haul for sightseeing on the way over, either: more red kites than we could count, some fallow deer, two paragliders, numerous hot air balloons and one road with no passing places.
