Through the looking glass

One of the advantages of working 4 days one week and 2 days the other is that every other school holiday has an extra 3 days tacked on .... like this one.
 The terrorist attack in Manchester 2 days before made me think hard about flying from Manchester especially as Iempathise with that age group because I teach them. We can't let them win, I am not going to be intimidated by the spreaders  of doom and destruction who try to make us afraid.
 A couple of days at Lisa's house relaxing and a long trudge north in a car with a whine later lead to Corning in Northern New York state home of...........Corning glass curiously enough.

Glassfest
 Is a street festival of crafts and state fair food with glassmaking demonstrations and a visit to the Corning Museum of Glass. If you haven't watched the videos on YouTube...you should,it's fascinating and the chance to see it live and glassfest and half term was too good to pass up.
