Celtic Cross in the Sky on St Patricks Day

 On St Patrick's day 2021 Eleena pointed her smartphone at the sun to take a photo and look what came out. A Celtic Cross. What a great coincidence. It is a phenomenon known as "lens flare".

Silent Night: Performed by Mae Edwards and her student Eleena Sutton

Christmas 2020, Eleena has just passed her Grade 2 ABRSM violin exam and Mae is teaching her some Christmas carols. They are both playing 19th century antique German violins that were rescued, repaired and set up from scratch by Eleena's Dad. 

Mae Edwards, Eleena's excellent violin teacher, is playing the very nice Maidstone, Murdoch, violin that is going to be Eleena's big sister (Holly's) Christmas present.

Eleena Passed her Grade 2 Music Examination this Month.

Eleena (aged 11) plays her Victorian Manby of London violin (made in France). 

The violin was completely broken when we bought it off eBay. The back was split open, the table was unglued in 8 places and it had no bridge, sound post, strings, pegs or tailpiece. Her Dad fixed and set it up. It sounds beautiful now. Well, it does in Eleena's hands.
