Lesley on Holiday

Fylde K9 Dancers was to be the next show for Lesley and the boys but sadly the old knee injury which she had operated on in December decided to flare up making it too painful to walk, yet alone dance, so, no show for the boys but instead a week in Yorkshire in the caravan was had instead.

With the help of lots of pain killers and a stick Lesley and Roger and the boys explored parts of Wharfdale.  Lesley grew up in neighbouring Nidderdale so some old haunts were visited – with some surprising results!

In Kettlewell there was the annual Scarecrow festival
Little Bo Peep found her sheep!
The villagers really make a super effort, first prize went to “The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe” but every house had made a contribution.
The Tour De France which went through the Dales was remembered too!

Not to be left out, Settle held their  “Flower Pot People” festival the same week!
 Oh no, not the Daleks!
 Miss Muffet and her spider!
 Here be Dragons!
 Ah! A more friendly rabbit!
Watch out Sid – they grow them big in Yorkshire!
But not to worry, everyone arrived back at the caravan in one piece and ready for a lovely walk up on t’ moors!

 A lovely holiday

New Training Hall Floor

It is 10 years since the training hall was built and it was decided that the floor was now feeling a little more than springy - so a new floor was to be laid by the Top Lodge Team
 Whoops - it was time to replace some of the floor and lay a new floor on top.
 Roger and Lesley made a start looking for any damage the night before.
 More damage!!   Too much dancing on this part of the floor!
 And then the team came to work the next day.
 All the carpet tiles needed lifting and stacking - new floor panels brought in, screwed down .....
 and then the tiles had to be relaid!
 Time for lunch!
 The final corner of floor is screwed in place.
 Nearly all done - last piece to be cut to fit!
 Perfect!!!
Well if its OK for Spice - then its perfect for the rest of the team!!
