We'll meet again 💚

Mari from Cockle Bay

12 August was the last time we danced together at 'Dance Yourself Happy' in All Saints' Community Centre, and despite all tightly crossed fingers and toes, we won't be able to return for any of the last three Thursday sessions. It is sad news, but let's not let that get us … View more12 August was the last time we danced together at 'Dance Yourself Happy' in All Saints' Community Centre, and despite all tightly crossed fingers and toes, we won't be able to return for any of the last three Thursday sessions. It is sad news, but let's not let that get us down! 🤗

Like D:ream said, things can only get better. Let's set our sights to 2022 and see what it brings. While waiting, let's cue up some amazing dance playlists from Spotify and Youtube 🎶 and tune into live DJ sets over Mixcloud and Twitch or wherever they pop up 💿🎧💿 Let's introduce more moments of happiness into our lives by dancing 💃🕺 – in the home office after a frustrating Teams meeting, during the lunch break between the sandwich and the cuppa, while doing the cleanup after dinner, on Friday after clocking off... the floor is yours! I have absolutely loved every second of dancing with you in 2021 💚

Here's an ode to the next time:

During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel. So I gave out a lot of parcels of those to anyone I knew who needed it.”
