Morris men on Wimbledon Common

May Day saw a very early start with the Greensleeves Morris Men having their annual morris dancing on Wimbledon Common to celebrate the start of the summer season. The event itself takes place at 5.30am in the morning, a very early start and takes place in front of the windmill on the common. The event itself saw a variety of different morris dances, with some dating back hundreds of years. It was wonderful to see, especially with the mist rising over the common. Following the display I was treated to an excellant full english breakfast where poems and songs were sung. All in all it was a very traditional event but a great way to see in May, and the summer season which is nearly upon us!
