We were doing a session at Open Door on Tuesday and the theme was food. It was great coming up with songs that include food. I know you may think of the song from Oliver ‘Food Glorious Food’. The musical Oliver one that has been performed in many schools and many of you like me may have memories of playing a part or singing in the chorus. I was lucky to play a part at my school. I was the long song seller, I literally had three words to sing which said, “who will buy”. Hardly a role that would win me an Oscar, though I did have to sing the three words twice. The good thing about having a theme about food is that we all have an opinion on food. It was a session with enthusiasm. 

On Thursday we had a great day with a session at a new care home for us called Royston Care Home. It seemed to go well and there was much enthusiasm from the residents.  We then went to Saughton Park in the afternoon and for the second session in a row we had fifty-two people singing and having great fun together.

On Friday we had an excellent Trustee meeting. We were finished in under an hour and yet we discussed some important items. While we are in a good place just now, if we could be a bit more successful on the grant front this would be helpful. Later at our session at Cramond I was happy to meet with a staff member who I knew from my time at Broomhouse. It was good to see her and catch up.

Reading this back it sounds like a quiet week; don’t you believe it!

Hope you have a great week, speak to you next time.
