Hi Gordon,
Just to say I really enjoyed yesterday, it was really lovely to play and mix with the other students, and yourself, on a fun day out! I’m really glad you and Miyoko found her hat, which somebody appeared to have thrown in the river, (one of the wee boys, perhaps,)or perhaps that black Lab ran off with it, and it ended up in the river that way!
Have a lovely summer, and see you next term.
All the best,
Vicky
Thanks Vicky, glad you enjoyed it. Miyoko accidentally dropped her hat in the burn and we managed to find it, so no damage done. Incidentally, the music we recorded can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/gordon-turnbull/sets/summer-at-hailes-castle-2013
Have a lovely summer and see you again in the Autumn!
