We loved dancing at . A proper stage, a proper floor, great lighting system! Helpful staff who went the second mile! Lovely seats, nearly all of them filled by appreciative people! If you think I'm just smarming here, read this: the Expressions staff actually made a cupcake for everyone in the audience.

And the shows went really well. One young woman commented with delight on the way our grey hair glowed in the lights. (Silver is the new platinum blonde.)

For all that, there's something truly marvellous about finishing the last show. Tucking into some real food, sipping champagne, toasting ourselves and Katrina and Elise and Kevin, without whom we'd have collapsed in a flipping shambles. And above all Jan, front right in this photo.
