Green Shoots and Quickstep – 25 February 2023

Drove to Brookfield in the morning through a lot more traffic than normal.

I don’t know what all the rush was for, but lots of folk were going west today. Not only that, lots of folk had already been there, didn’t like it and were going back east again, judging by the biz on the other carriageway.

We started with a silly wee sequence dance and then we were into the Quickstep. We (I) struggled to start with, but eventually things began to come together and we actually danced for almost a full track without a stop. My, but quickstep is exhausting. Next was a sequence dance to allow us to get our breath back before we entered the slightly easier Foxtrot. Easier, maybe, but not Easy. I was still making mistakes and Scamp was doing her best to correct them. Tango was next and we even managed to incorporate the new turn that Jane had put in. One more sequence and we were done for the day. This is the first dance class for ages that I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed.

Back home I went for a walk in the woods at St Mo’s and got my first ‘Green Shoots’ shot this year. Just a sycamore seedling popping out of the leaf litter, but it’s a sign of things to come. That became PoD.

Dinner was courtesy of Bombay Dreams. Scamp had her usual Mushroom Paneer and I, for a change had Chicken Tikka Bhunna. Both tasted as good as you’d expect from this restaurant/take away.

Tomorrow we’re hoping to relax a bit.
