We interrupt this blog to bring a proud parent moment ...

It's not often that Isabelle gets a mention on this blog, mainly as she is old enough to have independance and express preference and opinion. This usually means 'no, I don't want to come out with you walking around some boring reserve looking for wildlife things as I'd rather go into town with my mates and have good time being, like, you know - young' ...

One thing she does enjoy and get involved with though is the local youth drama group. They do a couple of invariably good shows a year, either a properly staged play, a sketch show or some musical stuff. On Saturday night they did a show presenting various numbers from west end musicals and Isabelle had a couple of solos. I think she was a bit surprised at the response from everyone who spoke to her and us after the shows, but her rendition of Castle on a Cloud as Cosette from Les Miserables was pretty good I'd say.

Normal blogging service will be resumed in due course ...
