I’m writing this week’s blog from the deck of our rented farm lodge very close to the Cheddar Gorge. Our view is of chickens, three sheep and some very ready looking corn on the cob! The sun is shining but it’s noticeably cooler than it’s been at home, which has tempted me outside again (I’ve […]

Well, we are a week into August and so far I have been true to my goal of creating time to enjoy Summer 2026. Monday was a weird one for me because for the first time since I was a child, and attended gymnastics training/dance for 5 nights a week plus weekends, I had  taken […]

I’m thrilled to share our August schedule with you, plus a special August membership deal! It’s a great time to try a different class, shake up your routine, and join sessions you might not normally have the time to do. As a member, you have the bonus of the TV channel so you can take […]

Please note there will be some class changes in the next couple of weeks, please see below. Isn’t it great that every day we have the opportunity to learn something new! I find new knowledge very inspiring and energising (in fact, I’m starting a new Psychology course this month—wish me luck, I’m very excited!). I […]

Thankfully, the extreme heat has gone and summer has returned. Well done to everyone who managed to continue working, running their homes, and even exercising through it! Even I had to admit defeat last week. With the agreement of the dancers involved, our Thursday dance class was cancelled. We did, however, make the most of […]
