Work, work, work. It never ends, does it?

Perhaps the costumes are a reflection of the heritage of the individual wearer rather than the dance per se? She certainly looks the part. I see in the photo above "John Lennon" there are three others in the same colors, so maybe their group has Swedish roots.

Just a guess, of course.

I admire your dedication to this project.

Busted!

It makes for interesting photos, though. I also thanks you for all your comments.

Maybe, but I can’t see any reference to Scandinavian origins.

Yup. A total immersion experience is the best way. Toss ‘em in the deep end and see if they can swim.

Yes, it was much better. I’m optimistically thinking things will steadily improve the further north and away from London we get.

Thanks for the background. We’ll just work on our attitude and approach them with good humor.

And thanks for all of your commentary, btw. It’s great having the local background and perspective.

Sounds a much better day. The small amount of cycling we have done on England doesn’t put it high on our list of great cycleways. Our experience of course was crowned by the white cliffs route from Dover to St Margaret’s

I’m afraid so. There’s lots of lobbying work happening to try to persuade local councils (who are almost always in charge of these paths, and very rarely know much about cycling…) to take them out, but it’s slow work.

A Swedish Morris Dancer, perhaps?

Ohmygod. You’re definitely getting a deep English experience here!

Morris dancers are fun to watch. We have a festival every year that brings groups from all over the US, and they perform in multiple venues throughout the area. Really entertaining.

Great job! It looks to me like this is the same set as in that Flickr photo.
