      IMG_0619.JPG I think the hobby that gives me the most pleasure is the Ukulele, I´ve been learning for about seven years, and play most days. The one on the right is a resonator ukulele, a rare and raucous little beast with a bright voice and neat purfling. On the left, the most expensive of my 4 ukes, with 4 abalone fret dots as the only decoration, the wood for the front and back has been split and opened like a book so that the grain is asymmetrical - a sign of quality in ukes and guitars.
      There´s a wide range of music which suits the uke, though I play more Cole Porter than anything else, and it´s perfect for just making something Bluesy up as you go along.
      Although they have strings, they are essentially a percussion instrument, which is part of the fun of playing them, there´s a lot of work for the right hand, as anyone watching Taimane Gardner on YouTube will see.

        I'm a fan of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. They have a lot of videos on You Tube. They are very funny and very clever at the same time.

          That probably wasn't the best example to choose.

          This one is more appropriate.

                          Wow!! Another trip to Battle is called for, the yarn bombers always put so much work into creative, interesting displays - I missed the Hallowe'en bombing as it had been battered by rain by the time I returned from being away.
