ReplyDeleteHi Anon, thank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that Darcey andher family only ever intended to live in Australia for a couple of years, to make the transition from retirement into something else, a little easier. But Darcey is a London girl and very close to her family by all accounts so it's no surprise to hear of this return.
Darcey bussel is amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see her back in Britain and on the air. She has done more for the public image of ballet in the UK and even here in the States than anyone I can think of. Classy, classy young woman. This is good news.
