Jim & Nicky

Well, I thought it was about time I updated our blog!

We recently had a wonderful time on Jive Addiction's Cyprus holiday, it was in a wonderful 4* hotel in Paphos. Our lessons went down very well and hopefully we smoothed some dancers out :-)

We're teaching at Adrenalin Jive's Burgess Hill venue on Wednesday 9th December, and then at MJ's Love to dance Penge venue on Tuesday 16th December.

We're also continuing with our private lessons as we have our own dance studio at our house, so if you're interested, email us at jimandnicky@gmail.com or text Nicky on 07718 567304. We charge £30 an hour (for 2 people), adding an extra £10 per person (up to 4 people). We live in Sutton at Hone, near Dartford, Kent.

Other news, our little baby Bardot is now 8 months now and such a little character, always smiling, bouncing and now standing up, crawling, climbing and loving little boys eeeeek!

and as my maternity leave is coming to an end, I won't be returning to my London job, so am looking for a 3 day a week local job, so if anyone has anything involving administration, or retail (but no weekends!), let me know :-)

See you dancing soon

As some of you will probably know, our dearest and gorgeous friend Laura Luckhust unexpectedly passed away last Monday. We are devastated and especially for Dominic, her husband of only 2 years.

Dominic's Dad has issued some more details regarding flowers and a charity donation which they would prefer. We know that some of you will be going to the funeral (Fri 20th Feb 3.15pm) but for those who cannot make it but would like to make a charity donation in Laura's name, the details are below.

You may have already received most of the following information from Dominic but there are some additional details to take note of and also telephone numbers.It is obvious from the response from family and friends that Laura had a special place in so many people’s hearts. We have no idea how many people will attend Laura’s funeral but no doubt some would wish to purchase flowers to show their support and sympathy. However, Dominic and Laura’s family would prefer it if flowers were restricted to the immediate family.

The ceremony will be non-religious with members of the family and friends paying tribute to celebrate Laura's life.When Laura and Dominic married in 2006 they asked that instead of wedding presents they would prefer it if small donations could be made to Medway Breathe Easy. This is a local group helping people suffering from lung complaints which was started by Dominic’s late mother ten years ago. All donations are shared between local needs and the British Lung Foundation. Dominic was sure that Laura would approve of this charity especially since it was an asthma attack which was the cause of her death.

The funeral will take place on: Friday 20th February at 3.15 p.m.at: Eltham Crematorium, also known as FalconwoodCrown Woods Way, Eltham, London, SE9 2AZTel: 020 8850 7046Following the funeral, mourners are invited to make their way for a reception at Rowhill Grange, Top Dartford Road B258Dartford, DA2, Near Hextable 01322 615 136
