My journaling reads:
As I walked through town yesterday morning, I came face-to-face with this group of Morris Men; a uniquely eccentric tradition here in Britain, that is still practiced at certain times of the year. The tradition of Morris dancing in Abingdon is incredible old and there are even parish records dating back to 1560, that detail the purchase of "two dossin of Morres belles". The yellow and green colours of the bands worn by the men, represent the growing and the fully ripe corn fields that were so important to the agricultural heritage of the town. Morris dancing survives as part of a unique group of interrelated customs involving the Ock Street Horns, the Election of the Mayor of Ock Street, and the Mayor's regalia. On the Saturday nearest the 19th of June, the people who live or work on Ock Street exercise their right to freely elect their own Mayor and it was this celebration that I stumbled upon yesterday!

I must give credit to the Abingdon Traditional Morris Side website for providing me with some important info about the traditions of the Morris Men that formed the basis of my journaling!
