AWESOME!!! What a lost bit of history. Thank you for making this. ❤
Thanks- so good of you to comment, .....Les
@ I shared it on fb. I hope more dancers & non dancers see it. It was great that William & yourself were able to bring 1st class artist to Sydney with some top repertoire. I’m dumbfounded I’ve never heard about SFB before.
@@Kitch9842 Hi Im interested to know if your are in Australia? lespeterkin@gmail.com
Well done presentation--thank you for sharing this interesting history! Your kindness is much appreciated. 🙏🌿💐🌿😊🌿💐🌿🙏
I love your videos , they are very helpful and interesting, you are so talented, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you very much Doreen - always a pleasure to be appreciated,,,,Les
Hey Les! thank you so much for this! we love looking back at our history and to see it documented first hand is wonderful to see. I will reach out to you personally and discuss more of it with you! but again, thank you for sharing
Fantastic . Thanks for recording and sharing today. Hope life’s going well for you now too . All the best 👍🏻
What a great Video. Being a current instructor at OB Ullswater for over 11 years, it is great to pick out the areas that we still use in similar ways. I also used to live in the boat house (which, unfortunately, we no longer own). I had the room that overlooked the lake and Hallin Fell. My canoe lived in the boat house which I would often use to get to Howtown, if I was working over that side of the lake. I wish we still made the canoes/kayaks before we put them on the water. That would be awesome for the young people we work with today. Thank you for making this video and sharing your experiences. It is wonderful to watch and has been shared across the Trust now.
Hi David- so great to see your comment..We must have had the same room in the boat house, and the ravens used to sit on the sill and chat to me!!! Good liuck!

Your content is the best on TH-cam for connecting to the arts and arts history in a personal way, it feels like I'm in ceramics class listening to my old professors again but because of your channel I get to drink in your knowledge from across the globe... ❤ Please NEVER EVER stop making these videos!!!!
