Flowery weekend



This last weekend was the village flower festival at the church and it all looked gorgeous. I put my dolls houses on display for them which led to a huge effot in finding sorting and cleaning them before transporting them round the corner. As they are going to Ware museum in November it was a good boost to do it and get hem sorted. it is so long since I looked at them I had forgotten how lovely they are. So many people commented on them.
The flowers were just so stunning. Every group or society in the village had a display and the fun bit was Friday in the church while we all worked to get the displays set up. Here is a picture of the WI display - quite appropriate I though, with jam, Jerusalem music and Sunflowers for the Calendar Girls! There were over twenty displays which just shows how busy this village is.
And last week we had the Morris Men at the pub which was lovely. Morris men go back to the Middle Ages and probably earlier than that, all male dancers with bells and ribbons on their legs, they have set dances they have done for years. I have always loved watching them and it was great to do so from the comfort of our kitchen window. The photo is a bit dark (it was 9pm) but you can get some idea
