Clog dancing at Ashford

Well I'm starting to get the hang of this, that is I've now discovered how to add a new post (I'd lost my dashboard!). What I really need to do now is start talking about something slightly interesting which may not be easy as my interests may not be everyone else's!
I'm a clog dancer and dance with Chesterfield Garland Dancers - link to website below:

We're dancing at the Ashford Arms at Ashford in the Water (beautiful part of Derbyshire) tonight. It's the village well dressing celebration and we go along to entertain the crowds (well we once had a coach load there!). It's a lovely pub and the beer's good - can't remember what the beer is now though. I'll let you know tomorrow if it was any good (the beer not the dancing).

    Hi Janet - hope you caught UK Vogue this month, apparently folk is in fashion, complete with clogs! I just got back from the Beverley folk festival - a great time and good bands, though I watched the dancing rather than stepping up... any recommendations for folk festivals, let me know...

    Hi Janet
    Well, you certainly had a beautiful evening for it. Did you have to do extra dances as it was the longest day? I hope you weren't too out-of-breath!

    Well I never realised we were in fashion - perhaps it's time to give up!
    Dancing was great fun (as ever), beer (Black Sheep - yum) looked good but I didn't sample as I was the chauffeur last night. Next time...

    A folk festival recommendation for Lauren (and anyone else) ... Folk by the Oak - a one day festival for non-campers! This year it's on Sunday 24 July - Hatfield House, Hertfordshire. Line-up includes seth Lakeman, Show of Hands and Derbyshire's Bella hardy (from derbyshire!).

    thanks Martyn - sounds good - I've seen Show of Hands a few times and often run to work listening to them...
    who knew cpd23 would be so useful?

    I'm a clog dancing librarian too! Who knew there would be so many of us, and that we would all be following CPD23?
