Perfectly delightful

Travelled up to Aberdeen last Sunday night for a Blues Party - had originally planned to do the entire blues weekend but my budget put its foot down so had to settle for just the Sunday night and it was SO worth the 2 hours each way and 3.30am bedtime!

The evening was lovely and chilled with the nicest of vibes – very relaxed and just the antidote I needed. Was lovely to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen for awhile including Lucky had been teaching the blues workshops over the weekend. Lovely dances, delicious cakes and delightful company and decadent blues music– the perfect combo.

And although rather later heading home the drive flew by with a fun chattering passenger – Lucky I’ll go on a road trip with you anytime!!

up to speed

Well it’s been awhile – and it’s not that I haven’t written things to post here – but that I haven’t posted them.

But given that yesterday (12 May) my was my 3rd anniversary of arriving in the UK I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf and start writing and posting – even if only short bits – hoping this will also motivate me to get my camera out more often – as I have been sorely remiss.

Right to get things upto date (I do have a plan to post some of the posts I have written but not posted but you know what they say about plans ;) ) so without further ado since I last posted the following major things have happened

  • Applied for and got a full time job
  • moved to Edinburgh

Hmmm well that is pretty much it – still dancing way to much – and driving all over the countryside to do so – this month being a prime example – first weekend of the month was in London for the Ceroc Champs, last weekend I was in Torquay for a MJ & Tango weekender – am SO getting into Tango at the moment and this weekend am heading south once again this time to Oxford to teach a workshop and attend a ball.

For those that know my family – my sister and her husband have moved to Australia – were in Melbourne in the family home but now in Sydney for a little while as that is where the work is. And the parental figures are still in the UK.
