SB and i went to a messiah workshop that had been advertised through the county windband. i think i forgot to say that SB got into the county windband – woot! and that she had a fab time on their first weekend just after xmas camp. DH took and brought her back, and we have no photos. She was feeling a bit blurghy with a cold and headache, so clarinetting all weekend wasnt ideal. still, she really enjoyed it.
it was unfortunate that so few people took up the messiah workshop that i think they changed it a fair bit. there were only 10 kids attending! when i had put in sb’s application, i said something about how much the messiah reminded me of xmas as a kid [i played it A LOT in the various orchestras i belonged to] so was told to bring my violin 
. clearly i am quite rusty, but i can still play! We had a fun morning running through the messiah and the pastoral interlude. [i would have liked for unto us as well...] really enjoyed it. lovely to be playing with daughter and also the home ed kids i see regularly . I snuck some photos
afterwards we walked into town and gave ourselves a treat lunch at the italian by the market, pizza and icecream – yummy . also popped into m and s to get some coins i had won on their silly internet game.
lovely spending some one to one time with my eldest she is very wonderful.
Just what you wanted – to play with her in a group :-). Fab xx
yes
was very happy. sometimes i think SB and I are a bit like the queen and merida in brave, so it is nice to do something together and both be just us and happy.
Gee whiz, and I thguoht this would be hard to find out.

highheartedly and think wholeheartedly. Perhaps it’s not that dissimilar. Holley Gerth today posted a wonderful meditation on living wholeheartedly, and challenged us to do so, figuring out what our hearts fully embrace
