>7 year old Sophie from up the road turned up on one of her frequent visits the other week to proudly inform us that she’d won the Reading Contest for her year (Year 2) at our local primary school and that she’d be going on to the regional contest.

And would we come along?

Please?

Would we ever!

So off we toddled to the school in Nieder-Olm yesterday for the next (and final) round.

Years 2 through 5 took part with 3 kids in each group and it was an excellent event.

Excellent enough to attract the Mayor on his day off for a photo op.

I’d like to say that Sophie (on the left in the white pants and red sandals) won, but she was second.

To the BIG KID in the blue and white striped shirt.

And if he’s only 7, my name’s Bruce Bayliss…

Good on yer, Spohie. The girl done good.
