Little Egypt
May Day 2006

It has to be said that, however hard they try, sometimes the various elements of the Morris Men of LIttle Egypt never look their best at 4. 30 on May Day Morning.
But do they let this put them off?
Of course not. There's work to be done, dances danced and crops blessed as the New Dawn arrives.

And, of course, in these drought-ridden days of 2006, the need to make sure that the rain will fall almost takes precedence over everything else.

So let's give credit to these valiant dancers and musicians who, on May 1 2006, set out to maintain traditions.

Over the years it has been a rarity that it has rained on our May Day celebrations.
2005 saw some thunder, but this year's downpour was unusual.
Rain, however, would not dampen the spirit that is Little Egypt.

This year, again, it was a real pleasure to dance at the side's spiritual home, Park Farm, thanks to Peter Ford.

As can be seen, there was an excellent turn out, and all our traditional dances were performed.

Lest there should be any doubt, Dawn did break, and as the dancing finished, many happy but tired and damp revellers adjourned to the Black Lion to consume a typically-sumptuous breakfast, and to steam a little.
Another first class day in the annals of the Morris Men of Llittle Egypt.
