It could have been Sydney

It was the local festival this weekend.  It's all free, bands in the park, fireworks, friends, fun.

Our small corner of England for a very short space of time was just like Sydney Harbour in glorious technicolour.  (Yes, without the water, bridge, boats, opera house...oh just shut up... you know what I mean)

But we had Vikings and Saxons

And the best band in town even if it was a small stage.

I was also my daughter's school concert this week. I went expecting the usual drivel and was pleasantly surprised to be entertained by a mass of very talented young people including this band. A number of Grandparents watching were rather put out, but to be honest, compared to concerts of primary years gone by, it was a blessed relief to be rocked.
