Hey DiddyBo, thanks for your kind words and well wishes! You are right, sometimes it takes a bit of encouragement to go to masterclasses alone and maybe I could meet someone willing to train with me. I'm not sure why i'm unable to bond but I'm not unkind or unfriendly type (at least I think I'm not!!) and make a big effort to smile and encourage conversations.
I've spent some time searching and decided to pay more to attend a more expensive school which is twice the amount of what I'm paying and hopefully it should have a few more advanced levels. It's closer to my working place anyway… 🙂 xxx
