I remember seeing a Morris Dancing Festival on the Castle Keep area in Bedford. I am sure the Bedford Morris dancers did not have "Lace" in their name in those days! I only remember the Luton Hatters - as Luton was the Straw Hatr centre in those days. I have a vague idea they wore straw hats (?Boaters).
It is a Long time since I lived in Bedford! But I remember the Morris Dancers dancing through the town (and visiting every "Hostelry" as they went!!) Lacemakers are such a diverse group of people, and it is amazing what they do "in their spare time" besides making Lace!! I expect there might be a few who dance. I know I am surprised, sometimes, at what other hobbies some of the Aussie lacemakers have! Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz [email protected] -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
