Britt O’Grady Summer is coming to an end. Maybe not here, but up north where our snowbird friends still remain. We are eagerly awaiting our English Country Dancers among them to return.

Enid Fowler Well – as they used to sing in the Olde English song, “summer is a coming in” – and that it is!

Enid Fowler Well, it’s that time of year again when our snowbird dancers are flying back to their summer homes.
