Sia Nol, Sia Mlan

Its been (as usual) a busy time with many things afoot, the Elephants have been playing and partying hard with Halloween offering us a chance to have our first party and to take part in Pontardawe Autumn Festival, on top of that it was the second year for the welsh folk music festival Sia Nol Sia Mlan, which is based in the towns of Ystalyfera and Ystradgynlais where there is folk music sessions over a weekend, so there was no shortage of things for me to do.

Sia Nol, Sia Mlan is welsh for backwards and forwards, we look backwards for music and inspiration (or as far as i can tell this is why its called Sia Nol Sia Mlan. I might get corrected after posting this) and take it forwards and look forwards to the future. its much the same with what I have learned at Elephants, less than 7 months ago if you told me I would be juggling clubs, slack lining, stilt waking and Corde Lisse, I would not have believed you. but oddly here I am and now considering the next 6 months, looking forward I have plans to do so much more I plan on going to Southern Lights festival again with the intention to learn much more now I know what to look for, I want to use fire with hoop, staff and much more. Even considering pushing the slack line higher and doing some high lining.

Seeing how far I have come is inspiration to keep going, not only because of the fun I have had on the way but also to see how far I can go.
