Hi Crystal,
No this was an earlier occassion that was done for the web.You can see if you click on the link "What we look like". I more or less walked through things today. As you can see we have bells strapped to our legs and wave white handkies in our hands. The bells make a good sound no matter if you are stepping high or low, and if you keep in time with your handkies it all looks really good.
The schoolchildren danced really well round the Maypole (we had probs with that due to soft ground following lots of rain.)
This started way back in the early English traditions and hails the begining of Spring also as a way to ward off evil spirits and try and ensure a "Good Harvest " later on.
Best
Alastair
