I don't dance, following my "event" six years ago, but I mean to be on Llantrisant Hill at 5.46am, worshipping the sunrise. A few friends will go to Minehead to follow the Minehead Sailors' Horse. There's a Welsh May carol, Calan Mai (in English, Welcome Dearest May), and I really have got to learn it sometime!

For us, May Day is a part of welcoming the summer - but for you, John, like all antipodeans, May Day marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter. The folk club says: Thanks for the Wednesday evening gig - you're a pair of good mates!
