I’ve only arrived at the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom in time for the Final this year, but alongside my mother’s lovely Christmas Tree, and in her enthusiastic company, I find myself with decidedly moist eyes and speechless with admiration. What a spellbinding connection between John and Johannes! And pure, shining magic between this year’s winners, Rose and Giovanni. Late in the day I may be, but – worldwide gloomy news notwithstanding – I can still join the huge chorus of gratitude for absolutely show-stopping and joyous inspiration.

Totally agree. So life-affirming and I so love them both. But Rose had a beautiful spirit which reminds me so much of my deaf pupil. She is such an inspiration.

Yes! – just gloriously life-affirming, as you say. There’s always hope at the heart of humanity while such high art exists 😊x
