Moving Through April

Last weekend I went to see the 8 year old EGD in the Dance Show. Chloe Kinkaide - or Miss Chloe as she is known to all her girls - and a few boys - runs ballet, tap and modern dance classes in several places over by the coast. EGD started when she was little and then stopped for a while but has been going again for a few years. Every other year they put on a show and it gets packed out with Mums, Dads, Nans and Grandads as well as brothers, sisters and many other relatives! There were almost 250 children taking part.

I sneaked in a quick photo at the end when nearly everyone was on stage for the final bow. The teeny- tinies are so cute in their tutus. 

One of the books I had from the library van with a-new-to-me-author was a good read, which is handy as he has 17 other books in three different series to look for. The book was The Great Darkness by Jim Kelly details here

I never thought I'd say that I'd given up on an Elly Griffiths book but her new series of a time travelling detective starting with The Frozen People was too odd to bother with. It's science fiction pretending to be modern/ historical crime fiction. I watch Doctor Who but don't read Sci Fi. Maybe I'll come back to it sometime but I've plenty of other reading.

 Boat Race Day on Sunday which traditionally is a must watch for me like the Grand National and The Eurovision Song Contest!  This years UK entry is 'What The Hell Just Happened' by a three girl group called Remember Monday, who I've only just heard of though apparently they've been around a while.

  

 Hope you have a good weekend.

Imogen Joins the Flock

 I wrote about rescuing the second bamboo duck back in 2017 HERE he's been keeping Merlin (who came from the Tewkesbury Abbey shop way, way back in the early 2,000's) company ever since. Then from the boxes where I found the kitchen bits on yesterdays post I also spotted Imogen.

She's very happy to have company and Merlin and Arthur are happy to have a little lady join them.

Imogen was a bargain duck at 50p but living on the windowsill at the front of the house with the road not far away they really are 'dust collectors'!

I looked up  dcuk  (Duck Company UK) who are still going but the ducks are made overseas now and often painted and wearing wellie boots . I prefer these older original ones - just simply bamboo.

Thank you to everyone for comments yesterday - I shall keep doing my early morning walks with a purpose because a 50p find is always a treat! 

Back Soon
