Just had the most wonderful surprise - the charming Mr M. has got us tickets to the ballet - we are going to see Sleeping Beauty. I've been infatuated with ballet - the beauty and grace of the dancers, the orchestra. There's something almost magical about it - almost like being in a fairy tale. I've regretted not continuing with dancing for years, and have been planning to start lessons again at the National Ballet. For the minute, I can be satisfied with these gorgeous images - and dream of a fanfare of tulle and satin ribbons.
