We arrived at Kirtlington on Friday evening and, after pitching our tents, made our way to the pub for food, drink and company.

Saturday morning started gently, meeting outside the pub (closed!) to begin a procession round the village with Kirtlington Morris and Rumworth Morris. The procession finished at the pub (now fortunately open) where we had a quick drink before boarding our coach to Blenheim Palace.

At Blenheim Palace we danced for a while, before walking through the park to Woodstock (and lunch !). On the way, we were inveigled into dancing the Rose for a woman who was partaking of her "Hen Picnic" ...

After a pleasing lunch (and several pints of Hook Norton), we danced in Woodstock for a while, before heading back to Kirtlington for a brief rest before the Lamb Roast and then an excellent ceilidh with Whapweasel. The evening concluded with a tasting of LiDL's finest whisky ...

On Sunday we danced with 16 (?) other sides, initially in a couple of processions through the village (it was rather hot !), and then in rotation at 4 separate stands - managing a couple of pints in amongst it all. Most jolly.
