I’ve learned to dance!

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

There are several things which have happened this year which have been both positive and uplifting. Learning to dance Lindy Hop is one of them.

Before this year I couldn’t dance a single step, I’d never bothered to learn and never saw a need to. Then I started playing in a small dance band and everything changed.

I saw everyone dancing to the numbers we had learned and was bitten by the bug to dance. I went to dance class and after six months I can string a few moves together.

I’m not Fred Astaire, but I’m doing something which I never thought I could do. Now I can do simple Lindy Hop. Every week I’m improving a little and joining simple moves together to make a dance sequence.

That’s a positive event! Of course the band is another, here we are with one of the pair of banners for the stage show.

Other exciting and positive things were the publication of my books on the Camino de Santiago: Walking Towards Myself and Camino.

Another was learning to play the piano properly after many years of messing about.

So 2025 has been a really positive year for me after the horrific episode with Covid and Lockdown in the UK. I’m really finding my feet again, literally!
