Early spring walk at Winkworth Arboretum, March 2016

Brian and I took advantage of a sunny afternoon in the week to visit Winkworth Arboretum, a National Trust Managed Woodland near to us.   We visit it several times in the year and there is always something different to see.   It's a bit hilly, so we have not been there much in the past two years due to my poorly knees, which are now much improved following the cartilage repairs.

 We should have guessed when we saw some of the Morris Dancers at the Park and Ride bus stop,but we were not prepared for the large number of Morris Dancers gathered outside the Lynd Cross pub in Horsham.    We went in for coffee and watched even more dancers gathering before groups of them dispersed around the town.    Morris dancing is an English folk dance first recorded in 1448.   The dance is based on rhythmic stepping by a group of dancers, often wearing bells on their knees or shoes.  Sticks, Swords, or handkerchiefs are also wielded in tune with the music. This was obviously well organised as the groups of Morris Dancers moved around the town all morning performing their own particular dance.    These are just a few photos I took on my iPhone as we came across them . The drummers were fantastic. More soon --------------------------
