Editorial

My immense thanks to the contributors to this issue who have made good use of their time during the pandemic restrictions to producing some really interesting articles about morris past, present and maybe future. I sincerely hope that by next year we will be steering gently back to something like before and we can report on current morris-related activities. It has been marvellous to finally see members of my team live – rather than on ZOOM – over the last few weeks and to dance with them!
