Middle C - Angus starts the piano

Angus, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

On Thursday at 5.30 pm Angus had his first Piano lesson. I specified the time exactly because he was very excited and could not wait. After he proudly demonstrated middle C. We have not pushed him here, he is completely motivated by it and even came home to practice! Long may it last!

Easter Holidays

We have had a great Easter week, mainly at home peppered with Grandma's visit, trips to the beach at Crackington Haven (Good Friday with Rich, Wend, Ellie, Sally and Simon), lots of bike rides especially Dad and Angus (occasionally Helen and Matt) around the 5 mile Taw Green circuit, a day trip to Crealy and the highlight being Elsie's first visit to South Zeal. A video of the latter is above and some pictures are here.

Lately Angus has taken to bringing Anne and I breakfast in bed. This illustration shows dried cereal with yogurt we received recently. This easter Monday we had cornflakes and toast with peanut butter. Once we nearly had toast and mustard. Bless him....

Good news from my answer phone.....

Whilst on the road last week I was proud to get this news from my eldest son on my phone.....

The week prior to Easter Grandma came down, the first visit since last Autumn. Highlights were a trip to Penzance and Marazion and a sunny day at Matt's Rugby tournament in Exeter. The best of days......

Matt as Joseph

Last week Matt played the role of Joseph in the school musical of 'Joseph's Coat of Many Colours'. It was a very proud moment for Anne, Grandma and I and we all admitted to a few damp eyes on some occasions! Micheal Jecks has kindly shared some pictures with us which I have posted but I am only able to share these with family and friends (see the link here). Also, Grandma took a great video of the main song which can be viewed by family and friends at the link here. If you consider yourself family or friend and are not on the list of eligible viewers let me know and I will put you on!
