Flora plans....

Well, the concerts in this season might be over, but the planning for next year, and the years beyond never lets up. We pretty much know what we'll be up to in 2009 - there's another residency at Bundanon, some more workshops and LOTS of concerts(hint: we're travelling further in Australia than we have so far...). We'll tell you in a more formal announcement very soon. In the meantime, we CAN tell you that the first workshop will be May 27 - June 5, at the Boyd Education Centre, Bundanon, NSW. We'll have brochures and hopefully an online application up by the end of the year. You can always check out what is happening at the amazing Boyd property at www.bundanon.com.au

We thought we should introduce our 'Ironwood at Bundanon mascot', Flora (photo above). Flora is some sort of very pink monster,complete with fluffy skirt and handbag, and she's come along on all of our Bundanon adventures so far. We found her in the toyshop at Berry, the gorgeous little town near Bundanon. She watches over all our rehearsals, and likes to get around all the important jobs at Bundanon.

The photos are of us on the Writer's Cottage Verandah during our 2007 residency, and Flora getting around Bundanon, and the Shoalhaven River at Bundanon. All the photos were taken by Lisa, who is doubly talented - an artist and violinist.
