I blinked... and missed it...

And now it's April - what happened to March? I blinked and it was gone, it's such a busy life we lead and there's so much going on; time simply flies I just can't keep up.
Happy Easter - for those of us celebrating this week, and Καλο Πασχα (Kalo Pascha ) to those of us celebrating next week. 
First off - thanks to everyone who has enquired how we are and sent their best wishes re. the hostilities yonder. To be honest we feel frauds because, although there was a bit of initial excitement, you honestly wouldn't know there was anything going on (though we know there is) it is totally carrying on as normal over here - unless you happen to be flying somewhere via Dubai of course.
The weather has been more of an issue, it's incredibly variable, which is reflected in the class numbers though we have never been without a set, sometimes even two. The classes themselves have been great fun - Monday's - supposedly 'beginner's' sessions have even sometimes morphed into advanced classes. The sessions are enjoyed just as much by more experienced dancers and sometimes they are the only ones there so we abandon the footwork and go for a few schiehallion reels & 3 couple set & links instead. 
As usual there are things being organised for the group beyond just the dance classes. Our next event is a showing of last year's Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the Phoenix Club next Saturday (11th April) - it's only €10, including a buffet meal, so don't forget to contact us and book a place if you fancy coming along, you definitely don't have to be Scottish to enjoy the evening; We'd appreciate knowing that you want to come by Wednesday though, as this gives the kitchen time to shop!
