The Piper

Hard to choose today - a couple of accidental wunderpics of reluctant truculent Im, but I just love the sniff of L's shy excitement here.

He'd just unpacked his new recorder - a delayed pleasure to reward the eventual completion of a particularly detested homework task (reading response journal).

The recorder was gorgeous, cool-looking and with a lovely tone. We struggled together over Goodbye to Summer - or rather I did. It's amazing what he's taught himself with no musical mentoring from his parents, or anyone else for that matter.
