Christmas is here


Only two days to go and I am feeling homesick. Have just emailed pictures of the snow to Cuba. I remember the first time I saw it. I came here in January 1991 and was walking up Kensington High Street when I look on my shoulder and there was all this white stuff. I went to brush it off and found it was wet "Oh its snow" I thought. I had only read about it before or seen it in pictures and on paintings. Sounds strange but in the Carribean we don't get any!

My fingers get cold though and I am back to wearing several pairs of long socks and two pairs of trousers! Heather laughs at me. Have had to move the piano into the gallery as the workshop has no heating. It isn't the one in this picture unfortunately. This is the one I will be playing at the Cathedral in St Davids on Augst Bank Holiday Saturday 2011. Am well into writing the concert now and find it hard to stop to sleep!


Have a good Christmas everyone. See you in 2011. I hope it will be a great year for us all.
