The week-end just gone was a busy busy one with the girls dancing at the Northampton Dance Festival. Saturday saw Molly winning her Ballet Class and came 3rd in her modern. The song & dance group also won their class. Sunday saw Molly coming third in her song & Dance and the junior Modern Group came 2nd in their class. Although Emily danced her ballet very well she wasn't placed but we have made great strides.....she smiled all the way through the dance !!!!! It must have been something in the Roast Lamb she had for lunch before we went !! Lets hope we've cracked it now, bless her. Back again on Monday morning to see Molly & Miles win the junior classical duet, quite an achievement as the class they have to enter is for 9 and under and they're both only just 7. I had to return in the evening with Molly so she could collect her classical award and also the agregate award for her age group.Carys needed to go for a run ! Dance Festivals takes a little break now until the May half term when Molly will be competing in the semi finals for the London North Region at Welwyn.
Carys needs to keep in training for a little while longer until this Sunday when she'll be pounding the streets of London in the Marathon, running for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Me, I'll be jumping from one Tube/Dockland train to another with my sister in law & brother in law to cheer her on at various points in the race ! Nick and the girls, together with a few friends, will be at other points.We've tried to work it out that she sees one of us every 5 miles which is what we did the last time she did it and it worked well.
On Friday the headteacher of Molly's school retired after 21 years as head. She'll be sorely missed,she ran an excellent, firm on discipline but a very happy school and has gained an outstanding grading across the whole school from Ofsted since 1997.
Carys asked me to make a little book and this is what I came up with using some Echo Park Springtime paper.The girls wrote a little message on a couple of journalling cards and Carys attached them to the back of the book before she wrapped it up.
