West Kilbride

We arrived at 12.30am last night and met our host Lynette, who is brilliant!
Today is our last concert day on the tour.

We spent the morning in West Kilbride Primary School playing two concerts to the infants and juniors. The concerts went down well and there were lots of enthusiastic questions and responses, including - 'why do your eyebrows move so much when you play?'...

We had a few hours off in the afternoon and for the first time all week were blessed with incredible weather - so we took advantage of this and went to nearby Largs on the seafront, had fish and chips:




And ice cream at the famous Art Deco Nardinis 
Then
found the most amazing hidden gem: Kelburn Estate 


Which has over 3500 acres of land and forest to explore (noted and appreciated that the Scots aren't so uptight about overdoing health and safely regulations, so we could freely explore)









And a 13th century castle recently redecorated by Brazilian Graffiti Artists.




Our final concert of the tour went very well. Loved the hidden touches of fairy lights in the hall and the intimate audience positioning.
