Thanks to Lyn Mathers from Brisbane for giving me this music. I'm a bit late writing the

dance for her, but I hope it was worth the wait. The dance is pretty quick at 160 bpm, but

really, that's just a matter of getting the legs going a bit faster….. easier said than done

these days I reckon! Isla Grant has a lovely voice and the story line of this song takes me

way back to my childhood days when country cottages with kettles boiling on the fire

and welcome mats in the hall were the norm in the little country town that I grew up

in. Hello to all you line dancers in my hometown, Casino NSW

See you on the floor sometime…. Jan
