𝙅𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮 I can’t believe it was January where we attended our first ever Area Festival at Parwood in the Prelim 19. I was SO nervous, forgot where I was going and cried ALOT.

Off I headed with Voss for a 4 hour drive to Forest Edge in Norfolk.

𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 We had a lot of fun in March, competing in my first ever Novice Freestyle class with my James Bond theme.
