Last night we began the 7th Annual Intensive at Hampton after a great Talu and stepping partnerwork session on Friday night, for warm ups. There's already a great atmosphere and I am so happy to be spending time in a room with lovely people intent on the same good work that I want to explore. Well done to the beginners who came along and threw themselves into the day. We also send love to Will, Kate and Simon, who weren't able to travel to the event after all this year. Am back at home for a few hours, tending the garden, picking food to bring, and generally taking care of stuff. See you at 2pm.

Last thing yesterday, Fair Lady Weaves at the Shuttle push hands, lifting up the other's heavy arm...
