Having a good time is exhausting

It's been a while since I've had the time and/or energy to blether but with the world going mad around us I count myself very lucky that I can look back on such a fabulous time dancing in Scotland. Only a couple of weeks ago I was dancing in Pitlochry at the RSCDS Winter School, with people from all corners of our world. I then managed to return home safely, unaware - as were all of us - that I had returned with only a few days to spare before all the current flight cancellations.
Many prayers are being said for a quick end to the conflicts changing the lives of so many all around us. It seems Cyprus, and even Paphos, isn't going to be a peaceful place in the immediate future (though only those of us who need to travel are likely to be much effected - at least at the moment). Amongst this madness we are glad of spring bringing back our lovely warm weather (yes, I know we'll be complaining of the heat soon) and walking through carpets of anemones last weekend emphasised that the world is still a lovely place.
Another thing that cheers us all is the dance classes. A super afternoon's class today, well done everyone for tackling some very new formations. They all came together in the end - so, it's a challenging programme tomorrow, but the Monday dancers have lead the way, and although I do have a few simpler alternatives available in case everyone's brain cells decide enough is enough, I look forward to seeing everyone there, keen to give it a go - you can't be worrying about anything else when you're concentrating on getting a Rondel right!
