Morris at the Olympics

 Hurrah!

They included morris in the closing ceremony - with Eric Idle no less!

Blackheath and Rag morris, both in fine form.

(Rag are the Bristol university morris team.  They're the ones in tatter jackets and doing the hankie dance - great dancers and a fun bunch of people too)

I now have the temptation to write a dance to "Always look on the bright side of life"...

I was delighted to see them! The closing ceremony was very draggy but Eric Idle and the dancers (Romans too!) were the best bit. Why yes, I sang along.

We also laughed because Greg was so sure there'd be Morris dancers in the opening ceremony and kept saying, "Here they come! Surely now's the time!" but had to wait a couple of weeks till finally he was right. :-D
