"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen..."

This famous line from Thomas Gray’s poem “Elegy Written in a Country  Churchyard”  sums up two very different events today in my life.
 
This morning, I spotted this camellia, the first of the season, hidden from view and the words of Thomas Gray’s famous poem came to mind.


Tonight, something totally different. Our dance group took part in the Hubbub 2025 Live performance at the Macrobert Arts Centre.

I would love to show photos of it, but our group of older dancers do not want any publicity on social media. So, my hands are tied. 

This is a shame because our dance arist/choreographer produced a dance piece inspired by the sense of community, resilience and connection that we get from dancing together in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.

  One member of our group made us all gold and red tops so though I say it myself what with the music, a re-imagining  of an early Celtic lament , and spotlighting it looked very dramatic.

It deserves a wider audience.
