Keeping Up Traditions, Dorset Style; Linden Lea


It's easy enough to mock, but I have to say how much fun it was to watch Morris Dancers performing at West Bay, and Dorchester's Town Crier (a very professional Alistair Chisholm in period costume) talking about Maumbury Rings, and reading extracts from Thomas Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge" and William Barnes' poem "Linden Lea".


The kids loved it, the adults too. Both events provided excellent entertainment. All for very good causes.
