Today started with the standard morning routine; we were yet
again graced by some wonderful weather, however sadly the weather did cloud
over later on. In the morning we were driven to St. Mary’s in Castletown (the
old capital) for the morning practice. After that we returned to the delightful
Hydro Hotel for a lunch of Chilli Con Carne.
In the afternoon we went to Peel beach via Pickwicks. The
athletic ones amongst us played volleyball and football, whereas the others
fought the tide and ate ice-creams. We didn’t have an afternoon practice and so
had an extended time at the beach (yay!). We returned to Douglas for dinner
which consisted of Tomato Soup, Cottage Pie or Breaded Plaice and homemade Apple Pie.
After returning to St. Mary’s we were pleasantly greeted by
a packed church (it isn’t at all big, mind you) and the service was executed
perfectly, with Finlay Walsh taking the final solo. The wonderful parishioners
put on refreshments and mingled with the choristers, eager to ask questions.
The boys answered with passion!
Yet another wonderful day, from the boys at
least (not so much the staff).
