Madness In Lamorna

Nick and Dick

The Evening of 12th July was a whole lot better, weather wise, than the previous day when to go out you’d have been  better off with a canoe than a car! A Lamorna ‘gathering’ happened, (not without a little organising by Liz W – well done Liz, good call re Saturday!). A good deal of Lamorna folk donned their ‘best’ attire, gathered together some food, drink and barbecues, and met in Pete’s Field.  Did get the odd strange look from passers by as we walked to the field – pure summer madness. ‘Best’ attire meant anything floral to formal, men dressed in full dj’s or wonderful waistcoats with bow ties, ensembles completed by welly boots or docker’s boots! Ladies beautifully dressed in designer clothing (!) with the odd quirky detail, (red hair, purple wig from the lovely Barbara who was celebrating her birthday), flouncy dress with short wellies from aforementioned Liz plus a real selection of high-end haute couture! (well okay then, everyone dressed madly and it was great fun!). The children dressed up too and we all had a lot of fun cooking, getting gently kippered by the odd chimenea, and then dancing the night away to the Newlyn Reelers who were absolutely fabulous calling the traditional Barn Dances, square and circle dances and long-way sets (how  impressive is that?). Fantastic evening had by all; 

Birthday girl - that red flower is a trifle outlandish!

Look forward to next year!
