When the family moved back into town, Ellie took the opportunity to join the local pipe band. She has nine years learning Highland Dancing and had lots of fun going to competitions and performing locally. That growing love of things Scottish has now morphed into a year of drumming lessons and a couple of weekends ago she had her first trip away with the band and first public performance playing the tenor drum at the Grafton Jacaranda Festival street parade. Apart from sore shoulders and a very sweaty shirt (oops I forgot that girls don't sweat!!) she had a great experience. The next event has been a highlight of the Paris family year for some time and that is the local St Andrews Day Ceilidh (pronounced Kaylee).
