\"\"<\/a>Wow, so I don’t get many awards these days, but I was very touched to receive this award from Heidi at Heidi’s Piano Notes<\/a>.\u00a0 Thanks Heidi!!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

To accept this award, I must…
\n1-Link back to the person who gave me the award.
\n2-Share 7 random things about myself.
\n3-Pass the award along to other blogs I love.
\n4-And make sure I tell the “awardees” about the award.<\/p>\n

So, seven random things about myself:-<\/p>\n

1. I love turkish delight.\u00a0 Cadbury turkish delight is just…well…delightful!<\/p>\n

2. I have 8 rabbits that I love and adore and sometimes if I need a cuddle, I’ll go and pick up one of the younger ones and snuggle it for a bit.\u00a0 Therapeutic having a content creature having its cheeks tickled sitting on your lap.<\/p>\n

3. My mother was my first music teacher.\u00a0 She taught me how to be a bell ringer and to play the recorder.\u00a0 She also taught me the beginnings of playing the piano but she wasn’t\u00a0very patient at that! Reminds me – I shall have to write up some recorder music and post it on this site.<\/p>\n

4. I first wanted to learn to play the violin after attending a Pan Pacific Music Camp where a guy named Andrew told a humorous story about members in his family playing the violin different ways (e.g.\u00a0 someone played it held over their head, someone else played it like a cello, another family member played it like a banjo etc).\u00a0 I fell in love with the sound and wanted to attend the trial lessons they were holding, but they thought my age group was too young.\u00a0 I remember sobbing so my mother spoke to the director, and they let me have a turn.\u00a0 I fell in love with the instrument\u00a0but it took a few years before my parents bought me a violin and let me take lessons.\u00a0 Thanks Andrew, wherever you are!!!<\/p>\n

5. I love the colour blue.\u00a0 Different shades of blues, depending on my moods.<\/p>\n

6. I refuse to go swimming unless the water is over 30 degrees C.\u00a0 Brrrrr!!!<\/p>\n

7. I am a neat freak, usually.\u00a0 I can’t concentrate if I am in a messy room and if there is unrelated noise.<\/p>\n

I’m going to pass The Versatile Blogger award on to Jen of Jen’s Piano Studio<\/a>.\u00a0 You can find lots of fun games there, and printable teaching materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
