I follow the sounds of whistle and drums from the car park and am just in time to Samba along the High Street with Bloco Fogo.
Lovely to meet up with Marilyn again; haven't seen her for ages, since Weight Watchers coincides with the writing group coffee morning. We wander along to the Capoeira workshop, to offer our support to a friend taking part.
