Today Alun decided he was going to take Tessa to the music shop in Weston to buy her her birthday present! prior to that the kids wanted to have a look at his mandolin... So it was duly carried downstairs and they all had a play with in then in was left standing up against the desk, unfortunately Ethan then walked past it and with the movement of his feet on the floorboards the mandolin fell over and broke!!!.... totally separating the head from the neck!!! Poor Alun when he came up and showed me, he looked like he could have cried! not so much because of the damage but due to the sentimental value of the instrument! It was the first christmas present I ever bought him....
Fast forward a few hours and the music shop had duly lightened Alun's wallet by a goodly sum and I now proudly introduce our new addition to the family 'Peter' after Greenie himself!
Tessa's 10th birthday present!
Ethan was given a kazoo by Tom in the music shop for being so good and waiting patiently!

So sorry to hear about Alun's mandolin, but it looks as though your family can still make beautiful music together!
aaawww no, I feel so sorry for Alun, that it broke, is there any chance that it can be fixed?
Still on the up side, looks like you're all going to be having a fun time :)
