Young violinist by happypat

Young violinist

The Arts weekend in Hamilton Gardens this weekend & this young boy practising his violin made a stark contrast to all the other children who were playing in the swings & climbing trees!

He was playing Thine Be the Glory beautifully.

Ivy's birthday party this morning & then a swim before a visit to tha gardens.

Have been trying to arrange a 365 meet up but it's hard getting a convenient date for everyone not helped by the fact that Harry & I have such a lot to fit in. I am meeting @andreajoy in Taupo, @julzmaioro & @dide at the Nicau cafe hopefully but if anyone can make it to Hamiton Gardens on the 28th February anytime of the day I would love to meet up.

Thank you again for your continueing comments & interest in all my doings.
Nice to hear young ones playing their instruments of choice... looking forward to our meet up..

Looks like a great day. I can do 28th and it might suit @pitasmum too. I will ask her. Just say when and where and I will be there. But don't stress if you have too much to do, after all it is meant to be your holiday.

@deliad The only thing I'm worried about is driving to the gardens but I have a sat nav & Jo says it's easy so I will come! Would 12ish do do,you think & we could meet at the cafe for a coffee & a snack. Would be good to meet up.

@happypat I think I'm free that day too so would like to meet up with everyone and say Hi face to face.

I ididnt' know this song but now I do having located it! Very astute of you to recognise it. I did notice he was Asian and these young children are put into a learning schedule that takes them to the top! I think I prefer the swings and the tree climbing!

@nickspicsnz Great Nick! Hope to see you!

@maggiemae Yes me too Maggiemae but they are pushed hard in the Asian world. He looked quite happy & mum was relaxed but a sharp contrast to see him playing there in the playground.

Beautiful sunshine there, Pat. Rain is pouring down here...

How lovely and that he should be playing Handel too instead of something more modern. It must have sounded great.

What a nice photo! I just bet as soon as he is finished practicing that he will be amongst the other children having fun in the park.

The violin playing seems to be doing everyone good. Pity we can't hear it. :)
