May Day Dancing at Arthur’s Stone.
We gathered at 5:30am to walk over a saturated Cefn Bryn towards the Stone. Wellies and boots were very much needed! We performed for a couple who faithfully stayed, braving the very chilly conditions. The grey clouds that scudded in from the sea were as grey as a battleship and soon deteriorated into drenching drizzle. Sian put her fiddle away and brought out her tin whistle. Sadly there was only the merest hint of a sunrise this year! Several dances were performed for an hour and it was really great seeing both Claire and Margaret dancing out for the very first time with us. Well done both! Morwen James from Cardiff Morris joined us and with our numbers we were able to perform Lads of Bunchum with two sets! The King Arthur provided warming sanctuary and a superb breakfast for us all, opening up at 7:30am and we concluded this year’s May Day celebration by performing a few further dances in the carpark as a few still had to attend to duties at a strange phenomenon called work!
