Picture of the Week: #34

[taken during week running from 20/08 to 26/08]

This week's photo comes from near Taunton, at the silver wedding anniversary of one of my friends. I talked about the large number of weddings that have been happening a couple of PotWs ago - well, here's what happens when they work. 25 years down the line, and a whole bunch of people who barely know each other - if at all - descend on a little village in Somerset in order to dance the night away. It's another one of those odd traditions with which Britain is so blessed, but in this case it's a fantastic one - barn dances (ceilidhs if you happen to be either a competent dancer or Scottish) are much more fun than one might expect.

You do, however, end up both completely exhausted and whistling "Lord of the Dance" for the next day and a half. Clearly, the concept could use some work.
