May Morning Morris dancers

After a not-quite-early-enough night, the alarm went off at 4.00am and Mr M and I set off for Spittal Point to dance up the sun at 5.28am with Rag Bag Morris. It was a little chillier than we would have liked (-2deg when we set off according to the car thermometer - a bit of ice on the windscreen), but we did several dances before the musicians' hands were too cold to play any more! The sun rose behind a bank of cloud, but it was glorious all the same, and great fun.

Then we all headed to Pauline and Charlie's for a sociable, eggy breakfast. Shame I had to go to work afterwards, but at least the early start meant an early finish!
