I like the idea of the 'dark' morris, just for balance.

Looking forward to the first frost with a different view now....

Dunno if you noticed the boardgame at our house, Terry:-) We could have had a game while you were there. Or seeing as it took so long to get round the singers that night we could have played at the folk club;-)

Cheers

Just finished it. Good as usual. Loveley little postscript at the end about a Morris team dancing, in black, with no music and bells at one of his signings. He reckons it was very scary and recommends that people don't try it:-)

Anyone else read it?

Cheers
