Not really sure if I'll get anything in this week - I've not picked up my proper camera for over a month. :( Just not had time or inclination - Christmas week when I was off, the weather was just crap.

I love the sound of the piano.
I  have been 'learning' from YouTube videos.
But i have landed on my feet as my new neighbour is a retired piano teacher. And she has volunteered to teach me for free, Can't believe my luck.

Result Chris! Good luck with it. I was going to shoot my ukulele with the same aim as it`s been underused these last few years since getting it one Christmas but time ran away with me for the shot I had in mind.

You going to catch / shoot  your duck first too Oldboy?  ;)

There`s a story behind my fat Rascals. Betty`s a well known top end tea room up here with top end prices launched a legal case against a small bakers in Whitby for daring to bake and sell Fat Rascals. They have copyrighted the name "Fat Rascal" as their own despite recipes being available since the mid 1800`s, many years before Betty`s even existed! The small baker couldn`t afford the legal fees so gave in and called their own Yorkshire Fatboys or some such title but so unfair. It`s like copyrighting the name "yorkshire puddings". Anyway my protest was to bake a set of Fat Rascals and post them to Betty`s Facebook page in protest labeling them as my own based on an old Yorkshire recipe. They didn`t even respond! The rascals tasted very nice however.
