Wootton Courtenay has an exceptional number of interesting and versatile people within its community including a young and very talented musician called Alex. Last night Alex held a concert at St Swithins church where, accompanied by Marcus, he played a range of beautiful classical pieces on the flute and saxophone. Later, to showcase his wide range of musical prowess, Alex sang a well known ballad plus some Frank Sinatra. Not bad for a 20 year old!
The audience loved it and it was great to hear such a variety of musical scores in the church. After the encore, Alex invited the audience to sing along – (I have to say that the overall quality and standard of vocal harmony steadily declined as I opened my mouth and sang)!
Despite the wet weather, we have been taking the dogs out on some lovely walks. A waterproof jacket and leggings makes any walking weather possible to enjoy. Yesterday Derek and Lucy loaded the horses up and took them over to Webbers Post and the dogs and I hitched a lift with them. We walked home via the Horner Woods and the bottom carriage track to Wootton Courtenay. Along this route there are some grassy areas and a herd of Exmoor ponies were busy having a good old feed
