jazzy_daveSo , as it was another fine sunny day, i first popped into Faversham and noticed the Morris Men doing their dancing with sticks.
This last picture was taken inside the Wetherspons pub where i ha a nice Rogue Amber Ale.
Morris dance is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers, usually wearing bell pads on their shins. Implements such as sticks, swords and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers.

And I see you have Morris Women as well!
I don't know if I like them in black. I associate Morris Men as colourful!
