I am unutterably delighted to learn that when a Portuguese person wants to express the thought ‘a bad workman blames his tools,’ she says instead that ‘A BAD DANCER BLAMES HIS TROUSERS.’
Dreading Monday morning? Give yourself something to look forward to with our taster session tomorrow evening!
We have all survived the night on a very wet and windy campsite! Fortifying breakfasts consumed, kit awkwardly changed into, we will shortly be heading off for our first dance spot. #dartmoorfolkfest
We are on our way to Dartmoor Folk Festival for a fun weekend of gales and thunderstorms 😬 I'm sure we'll all manage to enjoy ourselves anyway...

Lovely article from the Portsmouth News!
Tonight we're out close to home at the Shepherd & Flock, Farnham, from around 7.45, with our nearest neighbours, the excellent Jackstraws. This is always a good one! And it's near the fire station so we enjoy the waves from the firefighters going past. It's the little things...
We should get ourselves a proper Instagram account at some point, but in the meantime several of our number use #mayflowermorris to share our adventures there so do check it out for some dancing and a lot of silliness!
We have had a fabulous, if extremely warm, day out in Datchet and Windsor, thank you so much to our wonderful hosts @DatchetMorris!
Today we are out jingling in the sunshine in Datchet and Windsor, should be a beautiful day, if rather a warm one!

It is said that patting our mythical beast N'Dobbin will ward off the evil liquid fairy, often referred to in olde English as LAGER. #FolkloreThursday
The sun is out, the sky is blue... There is some scaffolding to spoil the view, but it's jingling in our heart. And indeed on our feet.
After a rest from last week's busy weekend in Winchester and Alresford, today we have an early start for Chippenham - kicking off on stage at 10.30!
A busy weekend ahead: Winchester Mayfest tomorrow and Alresford Watercress Festival on Sunday! See you there? :)
Tonight we're dancing in Odiham with hosts @HookEagleMorris and a number of other sides for St. George's Day, always a fun one! Join us from 7.30 to discover whether we can still leap into the air despite all the Easter goodies.

Time to iron the hankies... We've been quiet here but busy practising and now we all seem to mostly know what we're doing, the sun is out, the birds are singing, it must be dancing season! Looking forward to our dress rehearsal on Sunday :)
Tomorrow several Mayflowers will be taking part in Christmas Clog, fancy dress festive dancing around Farnham to raise money for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. Do join us to watch and donate, it should be fun! #Farnham #Christmas #charity
