Dancing at Birkhall

We had the most fantastic morning at Birkhall. The sun was shining, we all looked great and everything went like clockwork. For once my ankles seemd in good shape....mind over matter, maybe? I did take a painkiller but still they were better than they have been in weeks. The dancing went well, no mistakes, everybody smiled, including our Royal audience. We loved doing the Kaleidoscope and I can't wait to have it filmed from above. All the guests joined in the final dance - The Big Six-O. We gave Princess Alexandra a cheque for £500 for guide dogs for the blind...she was delighted. We gave Prince Charles £1000 for Erskine Hospital and a beautiful sword that Michel made...he was delighted, and I gave Camilla one of our corsages and invited her to be an honorary member of the Castleton Dancers. I told her practice night is Wednesday! She laughed and put on the corsage and said I'll be there. They also asked if we could teach the staff some new dances for the Gillies Ball in October and also said we would be getting 4 tickets every year.
