Well Hello everyone !
Gosh it has been ages since I have done a blog and I apologize.
Well I have been so busy with uni , and now I am revising for my exams. It is so mental that I have nearly finished my first year! wowza!
I have done a few singing gigs over March and they all went really well. Firstly I sang the Rutter Requiem on the 18th March if I remember correctly. Secondly I sang the Rutter Requiem on the 23rd of March at the Arnold School in Blackpool, and thirdly you guessed it I sang the Rutter Requiem in Tarvin Parish Church . They all went really well and it was very good fun.
So now for the long bit - horses (well Oscar), I went to Southview last week and jumped the Katherine James 1m scope qualifier and the Newcomers. He jumped great in the 1m but my silly riding cost us the last fence which was so annoying as we would have qualified! and then I rode horribly in the Newcomers and we got eliminated, but it was my first one at that height and I was so nervous which I know isn't an excuse, but he jumped good saying it was my fault. So we went back to Southview this week and jumped another Katherine James 1m scope qualifier where we got 8 faults (my riding again) and then jumped the 1.05 scope qualifier which we got 8 faults (again my riding) so we had the curse of the 8 faults it seemed! however it was fun and that's all that counts !
This week is mega busy. My bestest friend came home from South Africa so I am seeing her tonight! and I cant wait. I am also out tomorrow night at another meal.
Octavo have their first independent concert on Friday at Great Budworth Parish Church singing a feast of choral music it is going to be epic! There is also a raffle with lots of lovely prizes to be won.
So sorry for the mega blog , I always say I will do more and update more frequently but then I get uber busy and forget - sorry guys!
So see you next time..
