Bob Jovi, I went to north Carolina a few years ago and had a go at contra dancing. It was great fun though fairly intimidating for an English person!! No one told me about the "contra stare"which is where your partner looks fixedly into your eyes as you get spun round very fast. This is to help you both keep your balance. But until someone told me, I thought gosh these american chaps must really like me!! Anyway, I am going to Finland this year for a holiday. My dad lives there and he's getting married. Me and my Dad are going to sing an old song that he is going to teach me by the coppers and we are going to sing it together at the wedding party and frighten all the Finnish people. He lives outside of Helsinki in this wooden house he has just moved into. I haven't seen his new house yet. It's in the middle of the woods and looks really pretty from photos I have seen. Can't wait!! Emmie
