Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the Streets
by deadheaduk @ Sunday, 30. Apr, 2006 - 21:44:21

Except I'm not!! For the first time in about 7 years May Bank Holiday weekend hasn't seen me dancing at the annual Sweeps Festival in Rochester with Wolf's head and Vixen. Even if I hadn't been ill for the last two weeks I still wouldn't have been dancing because i haven't been to practice for so long.

We went down to Rochester on Saturday and we will be back there tomorrow after getting up at 4am to go and greet the Beltane sunrise up on Bluebell Hill. It's odd because I don't know how I feel about not dancing with the side - I expected to get a feel for it when i saw them but I didn't. Hmm more thought about this is obviously needed.

Have you seen a homoeopath?
Acupuncture may help, too.

This may seem frivolous, but maybe you should change your Blog name- we're all bombarding you with the energy associated with Deadhead- maybe something more healthy sounding would do you the world of good.
Clearhead?
Goodhead?

Morris Dancing of the Border variety. That's Black faces, tattered jacjets and big stick instead of hankies!!

Are you sure you didn't get just a teeny weeny little feel for it?
Maybe lifes events have become more absorbing what with having a little fella in the house, "all things change" as they say.
Oh and I saw some blackened-face morris men at Holmfirth yesterday :)

It could be true - Ben does take up a lot of time. There are other reasons that I'm um-ing and ah-ing - side politics I'm afraid but that always happens in groups doesn't it?

I think we may have danced in Holmfirth in the past - not sure though and if we did I wasn't there. I have danced up that way though at the Rushbearing at Sowerby Bridge. Nice part of the world.

It is a nice part of the country heading over towards the pennines. I have also attended the Sowerby rushbearing processions a couple of times in the late eighties/early nineties...always as a spectator though;)
