Part way through the lesson a 6 foot tall woman with mad, staring eyes, wearing a red silk dressing gown literally BURST through the doors, BANGED a walking stick loudly on the floor and marched, in shocked silence across the hall, leant on the stage and said, in a theatrical voice "I don't have a partner so I'll just watch!".
Andy was quiet for a moment and then carried on teaching the lesson (he later said he thought it was some kind of wind-up or Gilbert & Sullivan style kissogram and was waiting for the punch-line). After a few minutes the Lady (we found out later that her name is Lady Sally) proclaimed that she was a black belt in karate, a poet, an expert at Tai-Chi and was an accomplished Brazilian Tango dancer! Shortly after this she left, only to re-appear during the freestyle to sing Big Spender even louder than Shirley Bassey, dance with Andy rather too much and hold him so tight that he went a bit pale, then take him over to the Snooty Fox bar, lick his hands (yuck!), read his palm and tell him some hair-raising stories about her life!
You really did have to be there! It was all highly entertaining and Lady Sally was a good sport. Please don't expect such high drama every week, Lady Sally said she was only staying for a few days at the Findon Manor Hotel and next Sunday will be less exciting - "thank goodness!!!", says Andy.
