Morris Dancers

I've heard that this very English activity dates from the time of the Norman Invasion. These guys seem to have a lot of fun and they visit typically 2 pubs a night trading a few pints for free entertainment.

We happened to be eating dinner at The Harrow Inn in Knockholt, Kent, when Warwick Marriner noticed these gents warming up in the "car park" across the street. We all went outside before pudding to get a look at these guys.

I took 3 MPEG movies at full 30fps frame rate which turned out to be HUGE files (one is over 100MB) so I haven't the server space to post them all. Once all the Luetchfords have met each other I can take down those movies and post these. Give me a couple weeks.
