Today is #MayDay or #May1st ! ๐ I was reading about traditions and one of them was special events involving #MorrisDancing . ๐บ Every time I see a Morris Dancer, I think of #PeterCapaldi (as #BillyShannon ) from 'The Afternoon Play' episode, 'The Singing Cactus' (2005). #MayDay 2024
To mark #MayDay hereโs a clip of traditional morris dancers filmed in 1977 for Good Afternoon. #morrisdancing #morrisdancers #May1st

Great seeing Morris Dancers celebrating May Day around the realm. To think such merriment was once banned by Parliament & Cromwell.
We should never take for granted our most cherished traditions ๐

Archive shot because I'm not out #MorrisDancing this morning ( #stupidfoot ). Coton Morris are, though and I am thinking of them as the sun rises.
