Venice - March 2010

Back to Venice for a chance to explore the outer islands, back lanes and sights away from the crowds.

Britannia Coco-nut Dancers of Bacup


Celebrating the traditions of England, these fine old gentlemen from Bacup entertained the crowds with a routine straight from Monty Python. The leader of the group is 83 - but I'd imagine none of them have been near a GP for years, judging by their energetic routine and big smiles all day. There's more of them here


More Morris Dancers!

MayDay 2010 - Black Pig Border Morris

Off to celebrate May Day with various eccentrics in the wilds of Uttoxeter on a very cold Sunday. The Black Pig Border Morris group entertained us with their vigourous dancing, music and dramatic costumes.
