Derbyshire delight
A lovely afternoon (despite a sharp downpour for 20 minutes) in Repton, Derbyshire... in the magnificent grounds of Repton School (where the original Goodbye, Mr Chips was filmed)... glorious...
We changed in the pavilion (where else!) & saw from the walls that Harold Abrahams ( 'in' Chariots of Fire) and Bunny Austin (Fred Perry's fellow Brit. tennis rival) were Old Reptonians... as well as plenty cricketing O.R.s including all-rounder Nitish Kumar, who plays for Canada now!
The marvellous lunch was in aid of the Repton Village Hall Appeal - and with so many present, one hopes they are already well on their way! ...as well as the auction...
Before we did anything, the local string quartet, Derventio Quartet entertained with delightful arrangements of jazz standards...
...and after us Electric violinist Pete Hartley entertained around the tables excellently..
But in between, we gave our best, and tried to help the guests forget that we were interrupting their meal...
No-one rioted... and they were very good at singing The Lambeth Walk - hoorah for that!
Great time in a beautiful part of the world...
