I'll try that again!

Yes, fantastic - bright and cheerful. So talented.

When in school today, I went into reception and there are two enormous art pieces in the reception hall.

One is 3-D, with some fabulous lily-type flowers, and the other was a subdued but very colourful piece - they just struck me as soon as I went into the area. Fantastic.

In two weeks time, I'll be helping to cater and serve at a Lunch with Music for our town's elderly folk, with musicians from this school providing the entertainment.

What talent there is amongst our young people.

A rainbow, anyone?

It used 60 miles of thread!

I find those animals rather un-nerving Val.

I'll try that again!

But the skill is there - it isn't for me, but I am just amazed at other people's creativity.
