Learn to play the ukelele in a weekend?

That's the course L and her daughter are doing at Burton Manor - looks
like great fun and if I wasn't already booked to do something else I'd
be doing it too. The instruments are things of beauty with the shapes
and bright lacquered jewel colours, but then I'm a sucker for all
instruments... These came with a label depicting a Hawaiian beauty
clutching a shiny hot pink uke to her ample bikini-clad bosom. Well,
you can dream...
