This festival can be a bit challenging due to flow of people pushing
past, or through, the dance spots. Despite this, we enjoyed
ourselves.
The undoubted
highlight was the debut appearance of Sam (Ian and Emma's little son)

Ian
and Emma introduced their little son Sam to Morris during
the festival.
He seemed to find it hilarious
A
hen party appeared somewhere along the way, and the "hen"
asked if she could join a dance.
How could we refuse?

We spotted a
couple of these in the murky waters of Weymouth harbour
It's a Barrel Jellyfish swimming in from the sea. It's other
name is Dustbin-Lid Jellyfish as it's head is up to 90cm
wide, and the whole creature is about 150cm long.
The tentacles carry a mild sting, which is not usually
harmful to humans
