@SW_Help Thank you so much to the lovely guard on the 0840 from Aldershot to Guildford who kept us updated when trains were delayed and helped us make our connection at Guildford - we will be on time for Victory Day of Dance in Portsmouth!

I am unutterably delighted to learn that when a Portuguese person wants to express the thought ‘a bad workman blames his tools,’ she says instead that ‘A BAD DANCER BLAMES HIS TROUSERS.’

Dreading Monday morning? Give yourself something to look forward to with our taster session tomorrow evening!

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

@_TheStable Please open a branch in Guildford! We will give you all our money! Southampton is too far for us to come when we're not here for dancing :(

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

It's definitely worth a try.

[Adrian Edmondson ❎ @AdrianEdmondson]

Or... we could just do this until it all goes away? I reckon a 6 to 10 year clogathon should do it.

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

We have all survived the night on a very wet and windy campsite! Fortifying breakfasts consumed, kit awkwardly changed into, we will shortly be heading off for our first dance spot. #dartmoorfolkfest

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

We are on our way to Dartmoor Folk Festival for a fun weekend of gales and thunderstorms 😬 I'm sure we'll all manage to enjoy ourselves anyway...

Lovely article from the Portsmouth News!

Tonight we're out close to home at the Shepherd & Flock, Farnham, from around 7.45, with our nearest neighbours, the excellent Jackstraws. This is always a good one! And it's near the fire station so we enjoy the waves from the firefighters going past. It's the little things...

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

We should get ourselves a proper Instagram account at some point, but in the meantime several of our number use #mayflowermorris to share our adventures there so do check it out for some dancing and a lot of silliness!

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

We have had a fabulous, if extremely warm, day out in Datchet and Windsor, thank you so much to our wonderful hosts @DatchetMorris!

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

Today we are out jingling in the sunshine in Datchet and Windsor, should be a beautiful day, if rather a warm one!

[DatchetBorderMorris @DatchetMorris]

Looking forward to welcoming our friends @MayflowerMorris @111Horseshoes #TowerseyMorrisMen #JackstrawsMorris for our #DayOfDance in #Windsor & #Datchet this Saturday! #morrisdancing #summer

It is said that patting our mythical beast N'Dobbin will ward off the evil liquid fairy, often referred to in olde English as LAGER. #FolkloreThursday

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

The sun is out, the sky is blue... There is some scaffolding to spoil the view, but it's jingling in our heart. And indeed on our feet.

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

After a rest from last week's busy weekend in Winchester and Alresford, today we have an early start for Chippenham - kicking off on stage at 10.30!

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

A busy weekend ahead: Winchester Mayfest tomorrow and Alresford Watercress Festival on Sunday! See you there? :)

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

Tonight we're dancing in Odiham with hosts @HookEagleMorris and a number of other sides for St. George's Day, always a fun one! Join us from 7.30 to discover whether we can still leap into the air despite all the Easter goodies.

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

Time to iron the hankies... We've been quiet here but busy practising and now we all seem to mostly know what we're doing, the sun is out, the birds are singing, it must be dancing season! Looking forward to our dress rehearsal on Sunday :)

[Mayflower Morris @MayflowerMorris]

We are having a fabulous time at Christmas Clog! #morrisdancing #farnham #christmas #lovefarnham
