Tied in Knots?

Three of us worked hard for almost 2hrs at practicing what we had gleaned in the workshop, and another piece where we found places where two bars were tied between quavers , followed by a quaver and crotchet ,( where there was a breath mark) , this proved to be a potential stumbling point if just a little too long had been taken on the tie, or subsequent note. It took us a while to find the problem, but so glad that we won in the end! Our efforts were rewarded with tea and excellent chocolate cake!
