We have Dusked!

On a very misty November afternoon Wolf's Head and Vixen Morris were joined today by friends Kits Coty Morris, Motley Morris and Loose Women Morris to dance the sun down.

We arrived at Bluebell Hill Picnic Site to set up the circle to dance in by putting out candles. We greeted our guest sides, catching up with old friends and new. Squires Graham and Mel began the celebration with a short ritual, welcoming everyone and opening the four quarters.

We then all danced, taking it in turns with the other Morris sides. It was lovely to watch the other sides, a particular highlight was a solo jig by a young Kits Coty Morris Dancer.

We took a break to have a group photo and then all the sides had one more dance before the sun began to set at 4.30pm.

Mel gave thanks to year we have had, to the four elements and to everyone who helped us Dusk today. Wolf’s Head then danced 'Four Seasons' and Vixens danced 'Ladies of Good Intent'. Mel closed the quarters and as the birds fell silent in the fading light of day she announced to cheers.... 'it's time for the pub!'
