I have always had an artistic temperament, when I was younger I had a loving friendship ( I will not say anything more…) with a great ballet dancer, Rudolf, who managed to teach me a little classic dance and a little of Russian…
Ah, Rudolf, what a class, what a charm!
But I must admit I have never performed professionally on stage, even though I was told I had skills….
The picture you can see here shows me during an amateur festival ballet, held here in my beloved Bearshire, I think I have been a rather good Giselle, after all.

The only problem is that after the show my arthritis made me stay in bed for a couple of days.
It’s amazing, when I dance I feel like a butterfly, but when I’m back home I realize I’m an elderly lady bear.
