    Lindy Hop

    Break a leg! I've been Lindy Hopping for nearly 12 years and Balboa'ing for 9. Love them both and they are like breathing to me now. Dancing purely for fun and the love of it and with musicality is great when the dance itself is in muscle memory.

    Lipstick issues...

    What Are You Reading

    'Mother Tongue' by Bill Bryson. It's a history of the english language and how it came to be a global thing from a more or less 'mongrel' dialect. He explores English from America to Australia. I love the way he writes; so witty and interesting. Makes me want to learn more when I read his...
