The first spot was inside the shopping centre, shared with this Polish folk-dance group from Southampton. The cute-ometer went off the scale.
	Here we are in the same spot This looks like our customary warm-up dance - Dilwyn.
Most of Taeppa's Tump were up on the balcony, lending their support
	Later on, we danced outside the cathedral's west door. The acoustics and audience were wonderful. It's also a spot screaming out for a group photo
As is The Great Hall, with its Round Table of Arthurian legend. It is just staggering that the 13th century builders knew how to provide the perfect dance spot for us to enjoy 800 years later.
