SPRING PICURES

A family of Suffolk sheep - mother and four lambs

Suffolk Sheep Family Attention

A sense of fun in teaching the “entertainment” music subjects, with a little acting thrown in, especially in teaching singing, helps the more shy / inhibited students to relax and achieve better results. Adriene took this photo, whilst singing Handel’s Messiah “All we like sheep” across the field. Adriene took this photo as the village sheep, rather than running away to her singing, walking nearer and looked quizzically at her.

Fairy Glow*

A white cloud resembling an angel with a trumpet, in a blue sky

Trumpeting Angel Cloud

Adriene’s photo was taken when she was sitting in front of a statue of New Dawn, near Helmingham Hall Suffolk August (?) 2018. One of the most beautiful of cloud formations looked (aren’t artists allowed to have imagination?) like an Angel blowing a trumpet. Unfortunately, by the time she had run in and out of 3 rooms to find her camera to capture it, the cloud had spread and faded to this image. Adriene wrote a co-ordinating verse.
