we had exercise in the form of a fantastic Ceilidh band...
Andy got straight to it :D
Next up - the one and only Dyan Reaveley at yesterday's AFTH preview day for forthcoming workshops in the New Year...
There seems to be some sort of 'coronation' going on here! Andy wore his Christmas jumper again in support of....
... Our Ben, looking magnificent in his daily Christmas jumper... Katie said "..smile Ben" ...Ben said "..this is me smiling!"
Go on line to check out the workshops - A BIG tip... if you are able, do try to come along to the preview days as there is a 10% discount for classes booked and paid for on the day! You will get to meet lovely Kate Crane and me - (I'm nice too :) plus you get first choice and you can join in the fun and activities.. and there are always fun and activities when Dy is around!
... the activities in question... taster sessions....
No preview day is complete without number 1 special lady Su (provider of refreshments extraordinaire!)
and Teresa and Amelia's fabulous cup cakes
We will be having a fun filled and VERY happy but busy holiday season this year, our daughter, Laura-Beth gets married on the 30th December and then we are going to on to Cambridge for the New Year to visit our very dear and long time friends Cliff and Jane. Then its back to Yorkshire to celebrate my parents Diamond Wedding Anniversary before coming home to Durham (for a well earned rest before the start of the new term)
So have a wonderfully happy and blessed Christmas, remember the reason for the season.
I'll see you in the New Year - ooooh, the excitement, what new adventures will it bring!
Thank you for sharing the photos, love Andy's outfit. Good to see photos of Preview day at AFTH especially as I couldn't make it. You do sound to have a fun packed holiday season hope it all goes well, have a wonderful time Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Big hug xx
