A Novice No Longer

Danielle was rowing in a regatta again on Saturday, and her eight won. She even got a prize [an engraved cut  glass whisky glass] and is now officially a novice no longer.
In the evening we went to Sue and Eddy's for a meal, very pleased to see Patrick and Julia there too, and some people new to us [who in typical York style seemed to know lots of people we know too]. He is a film director who made Brassed Off amongst others - and is working on one on Northern Soul; all very impressive.
