Tonight was the first of two concerts, the first concert in two years from South East Derbyshire Music Centre where Sam and Amy go.
They were all brilliant, so proud, and a lovely venue at St.Peters in Belper.

Excellent news Tim ! Are the travel arrangements in place ? Are you thinking of going ? Are the Japanese allowing spectators at the events, or letting foreign visitors apart from athletes and their crews in ?

It will be the first major championship of his that I’ve missed.
