Green Woodpecker

So we have lots of grubs growing in the grass, which I'm delighted to say have attracted this fine Woodpecker. We've not seen one for a couple of years so it was a very welcome visit... but the grass, such as it was, is now in a very sorry state with lots of bare patches. A price worth paying I think.

This evening we were in school again, this time for the St Cecelia's Day Concert. Being a choral concert its probably my favourite one of the school year. Perhaps because it's Lauren's last year she was given a good share of performance opportunities: 2 beautiful duets and a very challenging solo. Mum & Dad came and supported as they almost always do and it was a really enjoyable evening.
