Mepal Molly dancing in front of Ely Cathedral. They are doing the four hand reel. Imagine a load of old men in tweed jackets stumbling about beside an old church and you are pretty much there.
A photo from Saturday as I am in denial about going back to work tomorrow...

A hand holding up a broom with the letter K carved into it. No one knows the significance of this strange sigil. Perhaps it prevents the Great Old Ones whisking the dancer off to Kadath in the Cold Waste if they drop a broom? There is a Cotswold Morris side in the background. They wear red shirts, black and white baldricks and black trousers and are called Clausentum Morris. They weren't bad, actually. But they weren't keen to be seen associating with the likes of Mepal Molly. Can't say I blame them, to be honest.

Mepal Molly's molly. Apart from the fact that they are holding a fiddle and are wearing epic shades and a headscarf, they really are quite challenging to describe. They have a beard. And a big handbag.
A Molly dancer is leaning on their broom and looking into the camera. They have a dark jacket, fingerless gloves and a beret on.
