To tea with the Mayor

After Pilates and coffee I did some sorting of Christmas presents.
This afternoon we went to the Christmas show at our grandchildrens junior school. All of Year 3 and 4 were involved with lots of singing and some children read out poems they had written. Very well presented and good singing with three part harmonies.

After this I took them to tea at York House with the Mayor and the Leader of the Council of Richmond upon Thames. They had been invited as they were runners up on the annual competition to design the Mayors Christmas card. See extra. The food was a bit disappointing…Door stop sandwiches and very very sweet cake…but the children liked it! While there we had a quick look in the council chamber and at all the photos of past Mayors…some of whom I knew quite well when still working as they came into the school quite a bit.
We came back on the bus to their house which seemed to take ages compared to driving!
