I got a phone call one evening from Flick, saying "Hi Adele!  Um, by the way, I've signed you up for something.  Can you be in Takefu tomorrow night?  They just want to put a Yukata on you.".

 

Well, it was a night out and sounded like fun.  So off I trundled to Takefu.  Trouble is, Flick had never mentioned the dancing.  Although not strenuous, we were at it for over two hours, I think, and it was a really hot and humid evening.  That said, it was a fantastic experience, and I enjoyed every second of it!  Thanks Flick ;)  

 

Thanks also to Amanda for taking most of these pickies...hope you guys like them!  (Oh, yeah, and look out for UK Dave - he's the one in white...!).
