Clash of the Titans

Six months on from the last concert and the results are much better. Unfortunately I only managed to record one tune but it gives you a taste of how well the band are doing.

Stuarts flying visit





Stuart came to visit last weekend during his work trip to Houston. We had a great time and Sarah especially enjoyed splashing about in the pool with him. Come back soon Stu.

Please can I have some more?

This is a new ritual that Brogan goes through

when he wants fed. We call it parading of the bowl.

Solo & Ensemble Competition


Sarah did very well at her Clarinet competition on Saturday. Her scores were excellent and as you can see she was awarded a blue superior ribbon for both sections - the highest award.




From Lemons to Tomatoes

We seem to be having a little more success with our tomato plant. We had three tomatoes when we bought it and now we have nine.

Martha Washington - Wax Museum

This is Sarah leaving the house last night dressed as Martha Washington. Her project this year at school was called Wax Museum where each pupil had to research a famous person and find out all about their character, the finale of this project was at school which was set out like a Museum with each pupil having their own display.
Here is Sarah standing in front of her display waiting for the Museum to open.

Once opened, parents were able to walk round each exhibit. The character had to learn a 2 minute speech and when you stopped at an exhibit the charachter would say their speech. That was very daunting for Sarah but she managed perfectly. After an hour of giving her speech countless times she had almost lost her voice. This was part of their final grade so we await her results!!!.


Here is Sarah's friend Logan who was Astronaut Sally Ride.
