Église Saint Corneille at Puycelsi and that concert

Dear Val
We missed you at the concert on Saturday but had time to speak briefly to Malc - as I read you were too busy talking to proud Mums and Dads! it was nice to see them coming this distance from Toulouse to hear their children sing so magnificently. For six it was their first concert as they had only joined the Maîtrisse in Septembre.

We felt it was a wonderful experience and as always the exhaustion of doing it all was worth the effort. However we were lucky in some senses as the Pizza for the childrens lunch was provided by our wonderful bakers so it was  just cake for tea that had to be provided. The costs were higher than usual so the surplus was too but as you may have noticed the baptismal chapel has now been stripped for work to start early next year.

In the meantime we are taking a winter break from organising concerts and after I have the grape jelly, jam making too. At last we will be able to have a summer holiday and recover in time to start to make marmalade after Christmas and prepare for the next concert after easter. Boy talk about forward planning

Val says I wonder how many people list this church as their favourite and seeing it slowly restored is a wonder and relief. In the parts where there has been damp ingress you are saddened to see it.
Readers take and send your visitors to see this church and leave some money in the box for the privilege. Even better if you can get tickets for these concerts count your lucky stars that Ross, Ginny and Mark came together at the same moment in time to give us pleasure and restore that wonderful building. As I have said before these concerts are the highlight of our cultural calendar.
Gosh, I wonder what they will plan for next year?
