Other Outings

You may be suspicious after reading previous posts that all we do around here is go off on outings and take silly pictures in public places:

That is simply not true.

I have in fact made an attempt to emphasize our more exciting moments, rather than the day-to-day studio stuff, in order spare you from blog posts like this:

Sunday - woke up, ran, practiced, went to bed

Monday - woke up, practiced, class, went to bed

Tuesday - woke up, grocery shopping, practiced, went to bed

Wednesday - woke up, ran, went to bed

Thursday - woke up, practiced, class, CRASHED HARD

etc.

Not thrilling.

So you can understand why there is a relatively high percentage of my pictures in which we are making bizarre faces in public.

Eh, guess that one's okay.

This one's definitely a bit bizarre.

And this one definitely is.

In any case, over the last couple of weeks we've had a couple of lovely outings.  First we went to London to pay a visit to Just Flutes in the morning and stop in at Wibb's RAM masterclass in the afternoon.  Just Flutes is a great shop in London (bet you can't guess what they sell) where I went to get a couple of torn pads fixed and So Yun selected an Arista headjoint for a friend at home in Korea.  Then we had a nice lunch at a Moroccan cafe and headed over to RAM (mind you, no one did any shopping on the way, especially not Ko-Yu and Jhen-Wei).

Rye, in East Sussex

The next weekend we went on an entirely non-flute related trip to Rye, which is a very pretty Elizabethan town on the coast about 30 minutes from Hastingleigh.  We had a look at the church, the town (including the house that author Henry James once lived in), had tea at a charming little tea shop, and even got a hint of spring!

Tutor style.  For real.

Henry James' house

And we even managed to take some proper pictures.
