Reading by the sea?

Then it was August, and there were (just) enough BB dancers to appear once more on the prom on the Sunday morning of Sidmouth Folk Week. Then the week after Sidmouth, we had an interesting evening dance out in Reading with a visiting team from Australia, Adelaide Morris, plus our good friends Windsor Morris. The evening finished in pedestrianised Broad Street with one of our more bizarre Magic Arches, with the last entry through the ‘arch’ being a large cherry picker which had been waiting to pass through the morris dancers to do some maintenance work further up the road. The driver looked first bemused and then rather pleased as he was applauded through the arch though the dancers had to stand a long way back to let him through.
