A train arriving in Scotland contained a party of three academic men. Looking out of the window, they saw a cow. The professor of ECONOMICS said: "Look, Scottish cows are brown." The professor of LOGIC said, "No: we can see there are cows in Scotland, of which at least one is brown." The professor of MATHEMATICS corrected them both: "My friends, we can say only that there is at least one cow in Scotland, and one side of it appears to be brown."

Thank goodness that I am an Historian and a happy SCOTTISH DANCER.

The best place for a holiday and for dancing: St Andrews, Scotland

St Andrews, Scotland is the best place to dance AND the best place for golf: a choice of nine courses to play in site, and dozens more in the towns all around.  Beyond the Royal and Ancient Golf Club on the right (the Home of Golf) is the sea and two miles of West Sands. Fabulous swimming, wonderful walking. but beware of stupid  English tourists. Here are some of their complaints:

1. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find 

that almost every restaurant served curry.  I don't like spicy food." 

2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach.  It was 

very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."  

3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the 

taxi drivers as they were all Spanish." 

 The beauty of Scotland is most perfectly captured by the rainbow across Skye above, Scottish tartans, Scottish dancing, and my lovely dancing children below (20 years ago, I should add).

Still fit and healthy and still dancing, but I do need a haircut

Like my new hat, though :  it suits my new hair styling

Keep fit and be grateful for good health

Perks of reaching 60 or being over 70 and heading towards 80! 

1.      Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 

2.      In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 

3.      No one expects you to run—anywhere. 

4.      People call at 8 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?” 

5.      People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 

6.      There is nothing left to learn the hard way. 

7.      Things you buy now won't wear out. 

8.      You can eat supper at 5 PM   . 

9.      You can live without sex but not your glasses. 

10.   Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size. 

11.  You can't remember who sent you this list. 

Happy birthday, Philip ! We used to dance together .....  hope you are still dancing and keeping healthy!

Dancing is the best exercise for MIND and BODY and SPIRIT.   There is no better way to keep fit in mind and body, than dancing. The first benefit is that dancing is FUN, relaxing your body and spirit. You can be a teacher, or simply soak up the joy of dance. Research shows that dancing is the best medicine against senility and Alzheimer’s. Fusing music with movement keeps the mind and body in sync; Scottish steps and formations strengthen memory, improve balance and poise.
