Elsie decided that playing doctors/hospitals was boring - we have played the scenario at least one hundred times and I said that being in hospital in reality was often quite boring anyway. No, she didn't want to play schools or tell me about drama club at school - but when I suggested she had a ballet class she warmed to the idea. Now anyone who knows me will understand that I gave up ballet at 9 years old and have only a vague recollection of positions, arabesques and pirouettes - but - it was enough for prima ballerina Elsie to have a master class - to learn what encore means and to give a 2 minute performance to Gramps who shouted bravo . . .
