To call it a first dance would - I think - be a little bit of a stretch. In fact I daren't even put a number on it, given we've been married for 10 years and dance partners for close to 15. So how about a dance that will always stand out in our memory? Without doubt! And that - considering the number of times we have danced together - has got to make it very special! Some time back at the peak of lockdown, I was feeling disappinted that our 10-year wedding anniversary would pass without celebration. I know there were - and are still - far greater problems in the world so please forgive me thi ..read more

She was worried, she said, about the new virus in China. “That’s miles away and China is an enormous country!” I confidently reassured her. “But don’t you think it’s strange that they have shut down an entire city?” A chill went through me but I quickly di ..read more

This blog post is all about the “B” word. Don’t worry, it’s not the word you’re thinking of! You’re safely inside a pure tango, Brexit-free zone. It’s another “B” word that I’d like to write about, and it has been a long time coming. Hardly a week goes by without someone mentioning this word to me. And my advice? Don’t say it, don’t even think it! Because the moment you do, everything starts to go downhill …. The “B” Word Let’s paint the scene. You’re having a wonderful night at the milonga. The atmosphere, the music, the dan ..read more
