Lola as a flower girl

This week Lola took part in a production of The Marriage of Figaro at our local theatre.

She and her ballet friends Emily, Ashley and Francis played the role of 'flower girls', invited to perform a special dance for the Count.

The production itself was performed with more enthusiasm than polish and there were some genuine comedy moments - not all of them intentional!

But the girls' ballet sequences lifted the whole show. They were effortlessly graceful and charming.

This is the first 'proper' production Lola has appeared in and she enjoyed the whole process hugely, even though it meant a lot of hard work and juggling rehearsals with homework.

Seeing her so at home on stage made me realise she is a 'natural'.

Needless to say, I'm very proud of her.
