Sword dancing, as you've never seen it before!

 Southern Star Longsword recently went to Chippenham Folk Festival. During their down time, some of the younger dancers (yes, I reply to your inevitable question, we now have MORE than one dancer who can legitimately be described as 'young'!)  decided to have fun in a play park by the river.  After going on all the various climbing, swinging, etc things, they hit upon a new idea:

We present - How to dance 'Three Legged Horse', without swords, and on a trampoline!

Thought you'd enjoy it!
It was totally spontaneous and they had a blast.

Oh, this is a very good idea how to practise! Hmmm...the girl, could she be Oswin by any chance? you know, children grow so FAST...

The smallest girl is Oswin.
The older girl is Esther, daughter of Colin (the man who had a heart attack during morris practice). She's happy and relaxed because her Dad is making a really good recovery.

Oh, I see! Well, I am glad her dad is doing well! But I want to send my special greetings to Oswin, thank you!:-)

Impressive stamina and concentration!

Also, one of the better earworms I've had lately, a lot of happy memories with that tune.

Horse's Brawl?

That why we called the dance 'Three Legged Horse'.
