Ashdown Fete

Today was the aftermath of the Ball, and the school PTA was obliged to set up and take down the fete on the same premises. It was a fresh, beautiful day with deeply textured clouds and sunshine. I got roped into working at a stall that was selling lavender plants, and Rhodri was working at the BBQ. The kids were free agents who only came round when they needed more money.
There were loads of different events going on in the main area, and one of them was Rhiannon's class singing songs from their upcoming production of Bugsy Malone. They were rather quiet and seemed shy and embarrassed to be up there singing (fair enough), so hopefully they will turn it around before their big performance in a couple of weeks.
It was a decent enough day, but required a LOT of work and it was really great when it was all finished actually. Tomorrow my long lost friend from high school - Annabel - is arriving for a 3 week stay! Woohoo!
