Dear Iona and Raffay,
Grandpa and I made it to Eastwood Hall and I wished you had been
there with us! What wonderful Sashas in beautiful costumes! It was a feast for
the eyes! The theme was National Costumes and some of the outfits were simply
astonishing! I have chosen just a few photos to give you an idea. The Maypole
seems to have been a success, too! The flowers you wove into the wreath were
still all there and the ribbons worked beautifully. The Sasha kids were very
well behaved and didn’t fall over once! Some of their friends joined them and I
think they all had a blast! Notice the Toddler going in the wrong direction? I
was glad she didn't get trampled on!
This Warrior was one of my
favourites, although it was very hard to choose, as you can imagine
This little darling stole
my heart! I love how she is painted, particularly her eyes
There was also a band. Lukas
played the recorder, but look at Gilly playing the accordion. He came all the
way from America! In this photo you can just make out the naughty cow who
crashed the scene!
Some of the kids who joined in the fun.
The boy and the girl in the hat came all the way from Switzerland!
I met up with lots of my lovely Sasha friends, but here are two
of my favourites: Rosie and Kalaya! They had a great time, winning no end of
Raffle prizes and taking part in all the crafts that were on offer with amazing
skill. They delighted us all with their happy smiles and sweet nature. It would
have been great, if you both could have been there too, Raffay and Iona! It
would have been the icing on the cake.
Lots of love, Grandma xxx
