Subject: RE: The re-Imagined Village
It's a belter for sure, Ed - but for my true feelings see the dreaded Does Folk Exist? thread, where I call it up as Exhibit A in my post of 27 Aug 09 - 04:29 AM Mudcat Time which spawns some interesting chat thereafter.

Miss Maud Tamtimmerton celebrates her 100th birthday today with a reception tea in the church hall at 4.30pm. She was one of the dancers featured in the above linked footage filmed when she was a tender 20-years-old. Even now Maud regularly plays her taborers-pipe for the ladies Country Dancing Club, though no longer has the puff for her prized crumhorn, which hangs pride of place above the mantelpiece upon which are displayed her many trophies.

Robbed of her speech by a stroke last year, Maud was unavailable for comment, but gave us a tootle of London Pride on her tiny brass three-hole pipe with a girlish twinkle in her eye.
