Sat 5 Sep saw us once again at the Wallingford Bunkfest, with its customary good weather, and the day finished, as usual at Bunkfest, with a Chunkfest in the garden of Sue’s new house in Crowmarsh Gifford, just across the Thames from Wallingford. Though this time tea and chunks were enlivened by the cattle in the field at the bottom of her garden wandering across to inspect the tennis ball which kept being whacked into their field.
And then at the end of the month we had a day of bright sunshine in the beautiful surroundings of Bath for the Morris Federation Day of Dance. Another excellent day, with 4 dance spots around town during the day. For various reasons we did Cavalier 3 times during the day (the first time was the best!), and we also finished the day rather unusually with Going Away, for which remarkably the song didn’t actually sound too bad for once. Must do it every time!? This was followed on Friday 9th October by one of our more unusual events – an evening at the Rising Sun Arts Centre in Reading, as part of what was billed as the Big Untidy Night Folk Tales Special. A very interesting evening, with our dances sharing a bill with other folk acts and a storyteller, and we seemed to go down well with the smallish audience.
