Dance

I'm not a Morris Dancer myself, but I had a great time stewarding the Morris Sides in The Square and at the top of Pride Hill. I thought I would put my photo in from Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2008, so that members of the Morris sides could recognise me. As a Shrewsbury lass, it is lovely that at last the town has its own folk festival and that events are taking place around the town.
