Who is it who can't tell the difference between an original Rudall and Rose and a BAMBOO Olwell then ? Send money or I name names !
|
|
Enough games - let's get onto the puddings !
|
|
By now the flutes were beginning to pile up ! A bottle of almond oil
for the first person to correctly identify all the flutes.
|
|
And the discussions continued ...(Rachel, Thierry, Craig, Tom) |
|
While in the house, there's great surprise as Tom finds why Nicholson had flat feet ...(Steve,Mick,Tom,Andrew and Kevin)
|
|
Enough talking - flutes are for playing ! (Richard, Rachel, Terry, Eileen, Andy). |
|
A few more join in as the light fades ... |
|
And the session moves to the house after local reinforcements are sent for.
(At 4.30am it's time to go ...)
|
|
But next morning Tom, Kevin and Richard (nice shirt !) are back looking at flutes.
|
|
While Terry gets down to measuring those pesky Rudall and Roses. |
Thanks to everyone who came from far and wide, brought wonderful food and made great music - without you it would not have happened.
|
|
|
But above all thanks to Teresa, who said "what a great idea" when I said I wanted to invite the wooden flute players of the world, then worked
so hard to make it such a wonderful weekend for all of us.
|
|
Finally .. I can't resist another picture of all those gorgeous flutes. Cheers ......
