Stage

Yesterday we went to fetch Herne from his music course, held in the deepest wilds of the Tarn countryside at the Base de Razisse. The course finished with a half-hour concert, which we and the 28 other proud families greatly enjoyed. Quite an achievement for a bunch of mostly 8 and 9 year olds, put together in only three days. Herne looked thoroughly professional with his trombone, even though his feet didn't quite reach the ground. And, much more important, he got to the final of the course table tennis competition.

Today the wind and rain has stopped, so I went into the garden this afternoon and hacked out a huge amount of dead wood from the rhododendrons. I hope they reward me with a bumper display this spring.
