Hello!!

Yes it's me and I'm finally back on Facebook! Not quite with the weather and national days just yet (who knew that when I was away we'd have three major heatwaves? I'll start reporting again soon and then we'll go back to rainy days.)

This post is a MASSIVE THANK YOU.

I had the most amazing gift from a lot of you after the show and so I wanted to let you know what that gift has paid for.

Max, George and I are in Scotland this week and it's my first time in Scotland. It's also 23 degrees and gorgeous (you see, I can't help myself) and I really think Scotland has a little magic to it. We have been here for 2 days so far and your generosity has gone towards this trip and our cottage on the coast.

We are in Cellardyke, next to Anstruther, have seen dolphins (or could have been porpoises) from our balcony, have eaten phenomenal fresh fish, have been to St Andrews, have jumped in the sea (well the boys did) and we still have a sauna on the beach to do this afternoon and a boat trip to the Isle of May tomorrow.

Thank you thank you for your show present, it really is the best. # # #
Ps and by the way, I am SO looking forward to dancing with you again soon. My fitness levels are getting there and I'll be back on Saturday 12th September for, you guessed it, brand new routines!
