| More gathering - this time lunch!! |
Our first outdoor gig of the year was exciting on so many
fronts! We were almost faced with the prospect of having to zill for the
duration until and mercifully Kay managed to find a stockist of that blessed cable
we so desperately needed.
That
particular hiccup overcome, we managed to make it to our first slot in time at
which point we were faced with our second challenge namely freezing snow and rain – you wouldn’t
credit it, especially in England, but the group has always managed to perform
in sunshine or at least under cloudy skies but this year wasn’t to be - we had snow, we had rain, we had cold, and we had sun.
Our Kaleidoscope
collaboration was made up of
Nirzari (Angela and Lulu),
Zoku (Shelly, Nening,
and Charlotte), and our lovely and dishy Marek (Brother Studio and lead of
Marekesh Tribe). Dancers and partners in toe made their way across our fair
town and we had a blast.

Missing from
this gig were our own Esme, and Nirzari’s Shereen and Melissa, one a new and
the other an imminent mum – ladies, never far from our thoughts – until the
next one!

Calling all local animal lovers to this one Ashnah gig
where we get all sorts – donkies of course, snakes, ducks, geese,
chickens, pigs – it’s great to see rescued and happy animals just chillin’ J
This yearly invitation and all others like it come around so
quickly – I must be getting younger and having so much fun! The invitation was extended to all manner of
Morris Dancing sides and we proceed to perform around town.
We got caught out this year – clouds, rain (for some of
it) wind but ever the positive, I’m putting them down to experience and counting
them as feathers to our bow! We’re a hardy lot, we are!
Ashnah decided to take part in the town’s clubs and societies promotion which took place in the beautiful medieval Abbey Buildings. There was a great turn out and it never ceases to amaze me how much activity goes on in our town!
Ashnah was at last able to
make it to this event, having missed the first one last year – the trip there was a veritable adventure in itself and as I’m no driver, the most I can tell
you is that the number of roundabouts around Reading is enough to give a saint
headaches! But make it we did and you can’t imagine our delight at alighting
from Kay’s car!
