morris dancing

A further 15 seconds – should have about 14 minutes and 7 seconds left, according to popular belief

There’s not much more to this than blatant self-promotion – the other week our morris dancing team (that would be The Westminster Morris Men, in case this wasn’t yet abundantly clear) was filmed as part of an ITV News piece

Life once again has meaning. In suit form.

Another absolutely excellent weekend judders past and highlights how much fun it’s possible to have if you really put your mind to it. Friday night I went to The Bloomsbury Theatre to see a standup gig from Al Madrigal and
