bibsey mama On November - 15 - 2012

There is in my family some actual bona fide dance talent… but not in me sadly. The dance is not in me, it might be in my daughter, who knows. Anyway, I don’t let that stop me. We love a dance here at Bibsey Towers. Bibs and I can be found most afternoons having a mad half hour freak-out to the bangingest of banging 90s dance music as served up by Mr B on the iPad D-Jay app. We love it.

I close my eyes and I am back in a basement club in Wan Chai HK at 6am with a tequila grapefruit in my hand. Bibsey closes her eyes and she falls over… she likes to spin. A lot.

However, in the mornings we tend to take things at a gentler pace and you are more likely to find us foraging Last FM for music to waft around the sitting room to in pajamas and fairy wings. So here, for your listening pleasure, is just a little taste of what we have been balletdancin’ to up the mountain this autumn.

Claude Debussy, Clair de Lune

I am linking up every day this week with Older Mum in a Muddle at she looks back over autumn 2012 in her #oneweek seasonal meme.

    I love Clair de Lune. Little A and I are sat watching and listening to it, as I try to write this! Fabulous. What do you mean no dance talent – I don’t believe you! Anyway, you have bags and bags of written talent :o ). A gorgeous take on the autumn theme – Only just realised today that the seasons don’t come with capital letters – faut paux! X.

      I love it too. Usually on the piano, but I chose this one because of the autumn images. I also feel that I want to capitalise the seasons, like the days of the week… I have to check myself every time. x

    Oh i did enjoy that :) Lovely (much needed) musical moment of calm in the run up to tea!
    So glad to hear you’re partial to an afternoon dance, sounds like a lot of fun. My kids get embarrassed now when I try to dance with them which is such a shame!

      Oh dear, I am sure that it won’t be long before Bibs doesn’t want to dance with me anymore. Until then… let the music play!

    I really want to come and join in, I love to dance, it can truly bring a smile to your face. I could just see you bopping around together. Lovely post.

    Beautiful music and lovely paintings. Takes me back to when I danced to Clair de lune at college many moons ago. I love to watch Bibsey and her Mama dance in my kitchen.
