May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I bury myself in the past because it is where all the best days are. Two things about these photos from Colchester Grandslam 2018 – 1) The first photo of us all lined up for the photo op – my face looks as it does as I am freaking out as to where to put…
Was sent the loveliest present by my friend, Ruth. It’s been a quiet day. Glasgow has put on some FANTABULOUS weather today. BUT! I’m “Alive And Kicking”. I have my faculties. I’m warm and safe indoors. I have my furbabies to snuggle up to. It’s all good. Yes, 2020 has been a pretty shit year…
As it was in Colchester two years ago. Considering six weeks before this photo was taken, I was persona non grata and blocked from the SM FB page – I never imaged a photo like this EVER happening! Or that Jim would ever be that warm with me ever again. Either he’s a fabulous actor…
Not bad, huh? (see below) It took a little while to get into it but as soon as I had the lesson with Cherisse, it lit the touch paper and got me hungry again. She has me learning new stuff and at first it seems like I’ll just never get it. I try the beat…
The kit is fab! I contacted Cherisse a few days back to see about having a lesson. She got back to me on Wednesday afternoon saying she had had a late cancellation for the following day (yesterday) if I wanted it. HELL YES! was my reply. The lesson was, as always, great. She fills me…

It was a concern to travel already. Both of us were well but who knows what others were like and…

Wow! It is looking GORGEOUS! And…I’m no expert (but by now I pretty much SHOULD be…) but I am certain some of Virginia’s photos have been used in it – she did tell me she was approached and was hoping some would be used. VIOLA! (Well, I am awaiting confirmation, but I think I know…
Well, I was freaking out that I wasn’t going to make it for the 6pm arrival time as I was still at the house waiting for a taxi to come collect me at 5.40pm. It’s Saturday night in Glasgow… traffic will be heaving! But it was mercifully fine. I still can’t quite get my head…
It was a bit of a palaver getting in to the venue. People had lined up promptly. I arrived there about 9.25am for the 9.30am start. The queue hardly moved in 30 mins. There was an appearance by Matt Garstka on the main stage due for 10am and many people who had paid to see…
