At the weekend it was the Yell Show. I entered in my bunny called Honey and she didn’t get anything. I also entered in my money plant and I got 1st place. I entered in rock buns too and I won 1st. I entered in a cupcake Hamma Bead and I got a well done and also a well dome on my minion drawing. The school did well on the vegetables. We won 1st and 2nd and 3rd. In the school we entered in carrots which got 3rd, lettuce which came 1st and 2nd, beetroot which came 1st and 2nd, peas and we didn’t get anything, totties and we got different prizes for and the leeks got 1st. There was lots of animals. I brushed Cassie the pony. There was 70 chickens entered. Mr Stripy came to the show in the ice cream van. A lady came up with her candyfloss machine. Me and Bradley had 3 lots of candyfloss. There was lots of animals with rosettes. The rabbits and chickens. I had the best burger with onions. They had red sauce and mayo if you wanted it on your burger. They also had fish and chips and they ran out of fish. With the burgers they ran out of buns! They was a girl selling baby rabbits and they were really cute. It was a really fun day.
I went to Fiddle Frenzy. It goes on for 1 week each year and I went for 2 days of it, Wednesday and Thursday. I had to go on a ferry which takes 20 minutes each day I went. On Wednesday my tutor was Kirsten Hendry and on Thursday it was Pauline Wiseman (who is my fiddle teacher). I was in the beginner/intermediate class. It was a lot of fun. I met a new friend and she is the same age as me. I learned lots of tunes but I forgot a couple of them go! I got to play in a concert for fiddle frenzy. I played 3 tunes. The first two was written by Jenna and Bethany Reid. They are called The Portage and Gordon and Joyce Reid’s. The last one was called Snookskerries. Mam and Dad had to buy tickets to see me. There was about 75 people going to the classes and playing in the concert. The concert was in Mareel and my tutoring was in a private room in Mareel too. It was cool because we got to go in all the no entry bits. Mareel is a Cinema and also you can hire private rooms. There are also a big room where they have concerts and that is called the auditorium. That is where all the people in Fiddle Frenzy performed. I was standing in the very front. They took a photo for the Shetland Times (news paper). I liked it when they changed the light colour and the lights flashing. They normally have it set up like the cinema seats but on that occasion it was circular tables because they were having a dance afterwards. First it was the students from Fiddle Frenzy performing, then after us it was all the tutors. The tutors were: Pauline Wiseman, Lois Nicol, Kirsten Hendry, Margret Scollay and Maurice Henderson. Then it was Bryan Gear playing fiddle and Violet Tulloch playing piano. I really enjoyed the whole experience (even walking through the corridors!). Here is the link to Fiddle Frenzy’s website.
