The welcome inn, mynydd bach Common

We danced at this splendid pub, hidden back from the main road on Mynydd Bach Common near Llangyfelach, on a grey evening that threatened rain and had a chill in the air more like you get at the end of September. Storm Lillian was only a couple of hours away, so we were very lucky to get out to perform.

We had a strong side out and performed for about an hour in the front of the pub to a number of people who were coming and going from there,and stopped to watch. We got some good feedback from these people which is always good to hear. Someone, within the side, mentioned that Alex’s dancing abilities were almost balletic, which caused someone else to retort that maybe he should join Sadlers Bells!

Paul managed to lose twenty pounds! We are not talking weight, we are talking cash, with a loose note seemingly flying out of his pocket during a dance. Sadly no sign of the missing money was seen again.

When the light finally faded, we called it a day, (or is that a night?) and entered the pub, tasting the very fine Gower Gold and Marston’s Pedigree. A good place to dance.
