Wimborne Folk Festival

Had an excellent weekend at the folk festival.  The sun shone, the dancers danced and a great time was had by all.

Richard and I collected as usual.  I gather one of the morris teams did really well and filled two tins (which is good - most teams don't get very much in their tins at all).  I did five tins, but Richard ended up with eight or nine.  But then I took time out to hit a sing around for about an hour and occasionall did a wee bit of shopping.

And I had several opportunities to play with poi.  At one point, we had what was almost a poi jam session in the square with several of us swopping tricks and teaching a couple of kids as well.  (I can now do a helicopter).  Later on, I joined an outdoor music session and had fun doing poi in time with the music.  It's quite fun altering the figures to fit the tunes.

I'll be doing a poi workshop at Year of the Teledu and I've bought a few spare sets of poi for anyone who wants a go and doesn't have any themselves.
