A busy day

Well, I reminded him about the anniversary this morning! Got a kiss!
We went to the Grand-daughters' school's Grandparents' day. The children are aged from 3 to 14. It poured stair-rods much of the time and all tennis and cricket had to be cancelled. We started before lunch with a clever sketch and some solos of a very high standard. A Korean boy played the cello as one seldom hears it. Also a boy played a Chopin Waltz beautifully. After lunch, the girls took us on a very damp tour of Nursery, Pre-prep and class rooms for the Prep school. Lucky, lucky children. Lots of facilities and small classes. Then we had more time in the theatre, instead of the tennis and cricket. They did bits out of a play shown last week and many more solos, duets and songs. The highlight for me was a young man of about 13, who played a grade 7 piece on his flute. He is also grade 5 on the clarinet and has just started the bassoon. They have a very strong team teaching music and drama.
In the evening, our W.I. entertained over 80 people for a Group meeting. Somehow they were all shoe-horned into the Hut - and kept it nice and warm! After business and a very good talk from a guy who sells walks in Northumberland, Cumbria and the Borders on the internet. He was very interesting and had some lovely pictures. Then we settled down to the highlight - a proper W.I. supper. We are well known for producing a yummy meal and they all guzzled away as if there was no tomorrow. Then, at the end, they bought up the remains!!. The entertainment was rib-crackingly funny. Three women, one old and living in a bungalow,one middle-aged in a nice 4 bedroomed house and one young and liveing in a 'palace' such as are to be found in a certain place near here. (I believe Shearer lives in one of them) The comparisons made were very clever and really did have us in stitches.

Am I allowed to put this sort of thing on here? I don't particularly want to put some of this stuff on my blog page, but will if I am being naughty!!!
