Hi people, Leo here feels like it's been a while since I did a column, but it's good to be back in the new Central West Village Voice newspaper. I hope everyone is having a good school holiday. Not much has been happening in the holidays for me apart from a trip to Sydney (before the lockdown) and the Winter Festival. My trip to Sydney was super cool. My dad and I went there for a Suzuki cello concert where I and all the Suzuki cello choir players performed the songs we've been practicing, I am in the junior cello choir. My grandmother came along and dad also invited his friend Frank to the concert. It was really good to see my grandmother and Frank again because I haven't seen them in a long time. After the concert, Frank took us out to this really nice cafe-restaurant. It was so good, the food was delicious and after our meal, I got to have ice cream. That place was amazing. 

The next day was even better. My dad and I caught the train to Town Hall station and walked to Hobbyco in the Queen Victoria building. Hobbyco is amazing - they have all the best toys and kits, everything I could ever think of that I would want, maybe not everything, but mostly everything. There were model tanks, planes, trains, big robots, and on the second-floor LEGO, Meccano, diecast cars, and my favorite bit - diecast planes. These planes were crazy detailed and some were pretty big. We could have bought one but in the end, we bought a model T-35 tank and it was totally worth it. After all that, my dad and I caught the train back to my grandmother's and started to go back home to Bathurst. I would have been back in Sydney for a cello camp and a taiko drum workshop but Covid happened and it was all cancelled. On the bright side, I still have all that time to finish my model tank. How exciting.


Until next time
