Tuesday's Treasures - Choir memories

Thought it was about time for another of Tuesday's Treasures!

My treasure this week is a group photograph that was taken last Summer of our 'then' school choir with Jo and I.  Although we have now been running the choir at our children's primary school since January 2008 this was the first time I'd been around and available to have my photo taken with the children (we're normally away on holiday that week...........yes I know, shouldn't take them during term time blah blah blah!).

If you count up you can see there are 40 children on the photo which includes our own daughters.  Choir started up again last week and we welcomed a new batch of year 3 children along with new members from the other key stage 2 classes.  We now have the grand total of 55 - our biggest choir to date..........a much wider photo required this year I think!

PHOTO REMOVED due to request of an 'anonymous' party

Tuesday's Treasures - Old Faithful!

For week 2 of Tuesday's Treasures I've decided to post a picture of my lovely piano.

This piano was bought for me when I was 7 years old (I'm now *ahem 34)!  It was bought as a gift from my Grandad on the condition that I practised hard and learned to play 'properly'.  I kept my promise and after much cajoling and nagging from Mom and Dad took my Grade 8 aged 15 - I hope I did him and them proud.

Although, I now also have a digital piano which is great for recording and other fancy techno stuff, it will never replace 'old faithful'.    I've always loved the sound of this piano, especially the rich bass notes, however it's probably now in need of a little tlc as it could do with new felts inside along with other bits and pieces.  Never-the-less, it still holds a special place in my heart and I could never part with it.
