Dear dance friends and MHD supporters
Now that the stresses, strains, expense, pleasures and fun of the festive season are (mostly) past, just a reminder that you have 30 days left to order your Early-Bird tickets for May Heydays 2024. Hi thee to it!
Mecki and I are enjoying seeing two noisy, boisterous, young granddaughters amidst a foot or so of snow and temperatures of -12C (and expected to get to -20), at a very basic farm here in Norway - part of my convalescence from a right side mastectomy on Dec 12th. Yep, I found a lump on Oct 3rd and things then took their course. It was an interesting, if disturbing, way to end one year and enter the next - but the news was as good as it could be.
I mention this, really, to say that this was well below my radar, as I suspect it would be with most of you, male or female. My message is that it may be rare (less tha 1% of UK and US breast cancers), but it's out there and often caught late, so I do urge all men to check now and again, and advise their pals to do likewise. And women, nag your parters or male friends about it as well.
Good wishes are taken as read and I wish us all a happy healthy dancing year - and 3rd Evesham festival!
