Tip of the week No one asks you to dance? Have a think about your body language. Are your arms crossed and you look grumpy? Your positive energy will ensure more dances. Leaders.. lots of deodorant will get you more dances. :0 ) b. Link of the week http://www.edenproject.com/ Garden & conservation attraction in an old quarry in Cornwall. Amazing. Both an inspiration, a wonder and an education. Worthy of a plug! Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/SwingPatrolLdn d.
