Lizzie and I both decided to start Life Drawing classes which we both have enjoyed immensely. I haven't drawn since school and Lizzie spends much of her spare time drawing, but the class suited us both. There are just 6 adults and Lizzie which is really nice. One of the wives here is a super artist and decided to put on these classes for those who are enthusiastic. Other wives and one husband volunteer to be our life models, which is really good of them. The the latter caused much schoolgirl giggling amongst us oh so mature students as he had to strip off (Lizzie was quite oblivious!). A few became quite overcome to the point where it became hard to concentrate on the pencil to paper rather than shaking with giggles, guffaws and snorts! (for those of you considering contacting Social Services due to Lizzie's attendance at this session, our model did keep his boxers on by the way!).
The first weekend in March, Richard and I went to a Hoe Down up at the Base. It was SUCH a good fun night. It was excellent - probably the best night out I've had in years! The grub was super, the band was fab which made the line dancing great fun (honestly!) and as usual we were on the last bus home. There's a good plan here; when we go to a "do", because Ralston village is a couple of miles away from the Base where the chaps work and where the Mess is, transport is always put on when there is a function and it just runs continuously throughout the night into the small hours so no one has to drive home. Gleaming!
We did take the camera but the battery died after only one photo:
