The last dance



I can never look at fuchsia flowers without thinking of dancers.
You only had to add arms with a little bit of twig.
My flirtation with ballet was short-lived.
I have trochanteric bursitis.
It's a pain in the hip.


I suppose I could take up
crochet.


Sue is making a lovely Ravilious blanket.
Lucy has lots of patterns and tutorials in her sidebar
and I do like Vanessa's little squares scarf.

  1. I was chucked out of ballet class as a child for refusing to run around the room like a flower. I pointed out to the teacher that flowers don't run...she took offence & asked my Mum not to bring me back the following week!

  2. Poor Lucille. How pesky to have a pain in the hip. I have taught my daughters how to squeeze the nectar from the fuchsia flowers and drink it; they like to get there before the bees.

  4. That bursitis responds well to acupuncture. Mine got better and has never come back.

  5. Oh, how sad! I hope you can get relief from the pain, do try acupuncture, as lillyanne says, it is amazing how well it works.

    I never saw a Fuchsia as a child but they fascinate me now. I was never introduced to ballet either, there wasn't much of it on our Welsh hillside in those days.
