It was good to read Ben James’s excellent article in Looking Back (May 20) about Morris dancing.

It was so refreshing at a time when this wonderful relic of our old English pagan religion is so often disparaged and laughed at – by the English themselves.

I shall certainly keep the article in my scrapbook.

Incidentally, I was at the apple howling at Furners Farm all those years ago and had to walk all the way back to Brighton – in February!
