Brenda and I travelled to Woldingham in Surrey for a wonderful four days of circle dance, song and laughter.

Our centre for the weekend |
I took the train up to Rugby to spend time with three generations of family. My cousins and I were in the 'elders' category.
My cousin David and me paddling down the canal in the canoe he built himself. I paddled the first half, then swapped over and did the second leg by car. I was glad to miss the unexpected lock where they had to get the canoes out of the water and carry them round.
We had a convoy of two canoes. Towards the end of the canal there were lots of narrow boats moored. A well located canal-side pub provided us with a lovely spot for our dinner.
We had fun playing dress-ups. Ewan (alias Superman) made me a special mask which gave me superpowers (although it felt a little like a scold's bridle). Then we did some circle dancing.
