Hi all
Well I had an amazing weekend and wanted to share. This weekend was a bank holiday in the UK and every year London holds a huge street carnival - Notting Hill Carnival, which embraces and celebrates London’s multicultural make up. This years theme was Diversity & Unity. It is fantastic fun and I go every year with friends to listen to the music and dance in the streets but this year I was actually in the procession! I was dressed as a shark with a great big fin and hat, all dressed in white and silver with lots of glitter and sparkles. The costumes were amazing and my face was decorated and I had so many compliments. It really felt like my moment in the spotlight as all eyes are on you as you are dancing along the street and everyone wants to have their photo taken with you.
We danced for about 9 hours in the hot sunshine (plenty of water was provided) to a range of music, mostly SOCA music which is kind of a modern fusion of soul and calypso and pretty damn funky! I have to be honest and say that I ache all over but wouldn't have missed it for the world. I am so pleased that I have lost 39 lbs so far on this WOL otherwise I may have struggled with such a long day of physical exertion. Thank you Atkins & ADBB for giving me so many more opportunities to enjoy everything that goes on around me
