Now that dp is working from home dd can start her dance classes again. She wants to do something like disco, jazz or something modern.

She has been doing ballet and tap for a few years already.

Sorry, can't help, only know people with children in Wimborne ones which are a bit far, but just wanted to say I hope the move is going well for you

Don't know about Blandford, but Dorchester Ballet and Dance club is worth a look if you can travel that far. See www.dancedorchester.org.

Is she going to be riding again, if so have you found any where for that ?

Think Dorchester is about 30 mins from Blandford, Wimborne about 15 mins.

That is the riding stables behind our house, and had seen that dance place when googling. Thanks Shoshe, we arrive on Saturday.

Dp said that her school had links with a riding school as well.

Yes, not far. You just shoot down a lovely beech tree avenue past Badbury Rings and you are there.

By the hospital????

My Parents lived on Milldown Rd.

Best park around is out at Pimperne, lovely swimming pool at the leisure centre, soft play up at Sturminster Newton, great walk around the milldown, and along the old railway line.

email me nanny 475 at hotmail dot com

Twinset, I love your enthusiasm !

It is great, we have friends who are coming here for a week whilst we go to France. I was coming up with free/cheap things for them to do as they are a bit skint atm and as I was doing it I was thinking how lucky we are to live here.

Brilliant for your DD having a riding stable behind your house. Is she is excited about the move ?

One thing I always do well is enthusiasm, all my reports for subjects I was crap at began with " well she is certainly enthusiatic.

She is very excited, a bit sad to leave the only house she has known and the friends she has had from being a baby but she has a wetsuit and can't wait to use it.

culdesac! shocking typing - it is the excitement.

Am taking dd into the village for lunch and will then email you.

Are you in Blandford Shoshe?

Oh wow, what a view, it looks lovely ! Can definitely see why you are excited.

We did a little photo album for DD when we moved which went down well. She was younger though, not even 4 at the time and she is 9.5 now, it has flown by.
