That evening we had arranged to dance before supper at The Coombe Barton Inn, Crackington Haven. It was a beautiful seaside village, with the pub next to the beach.

We danced in the car park in the evening sunshine, watched by a small bemused audience and Robert’s dog!

Foot Note....

Some of us had to head for home on the Sunday morning, but those who remained had one final opportunity to dance, outside the Witchcraft Museum in Boscastle. This was a lovely wide flat area next to two cafes and a footbridge over the river, so quite a few spectators built up.

The manager of the museum offered us free entry, which was taken up by several members. We discovered that we wear bells to ward off evil spirits! Thanks go to the National Trust for allowing us to dance on their property.
