Busking Day

December 19th, 2009 by Sarah

We started off planning to attend the one now traditional busking afternoon, with Josiah’s Suzuki violin group. Anna is always invited to this as an honorary member, and Abbie joins in on the flute too.

However, over the past few weeks we added a lunchtime quintet for Anna (the highlight I think, they sounded fantastic, and did so well collecting for Children in Need that they think they’ll go back again and collect for themselves next time!), and a coffee morning engagement for an ensemble made up of children from Orchestra, who played at the Twinning Association’s Christmas do – not a huge money spinner but great for building relationships with the Twinning Circle; the orchestra do lots with twin town links so it’s good to keep in touch.

So it’s been a really busy day; we had lunch in Bostons to warm up between sessions, it was very cold by the end of the day, but we had fun. And while they were playing, I stood around with collecting tins and chatted to people :)

Anna and Josiah have both gone off for sleepovers with different friends, leaving us to have a quiet night in with Abbie!
