He seemed to thoroughly enjoy his visit and we loved the fact that he was very relaxed and 'hands-on'. |
Phew, next up, a TV crew visited to film an episode of 'How do they do it' - which I think is due to go out fairly soon on Discovery Channel. I'll try to keep you posted as to when that's going out. |
... and Scottish harpist Katie Targett-Adams who lives in Hong Kong and is extremely popular in China... |
... and Welsh harpist Iona Thomas who is Harpist with charts star Laura Mvula. |
Iona and Tom also were amongst the performers at our late Summer Workshop Open Day... |
But it's been nice too when we have just had the place to ourselves to get on and make a few harps. |
Compare the above to this picture which was taken in the early 1980's - we've hardly changed, hmm!! But that's not quite it for this post, we have just recently been filmed for Living Surrey TV and here is a link to the programme which went out last Friday on Sky Channel 192. The bit which features us runs from 17:02 - enjoy! http://www.livingsurrey.co.uk/ep14.html |

DeleteHola Jerry. Veo que has tenido un año muy atareado y te hemos echado de menos en el blog. Qué bueno que estés de vuelta. Sonia y yo os deseamos una feliz Navidad a tu familia y a ti. Un abrazo para todos.
ReplyDeleteHola Francesc. Thanks for your lovely greeting. Happy Christmas to you and Sonia too.
ReplyDeleteQuerida familia. Muchas gracias por mostrarnos todos los felices acontecimientos en este post. He visto la preparación de los vinos y la comida de Navidad, todo es muy entrañable. Jerry, yo estuve en Surrey hace algunos años, me quedaba en casa de una familia muy agradable, la señora era de Malta y su marido inglés. Yo iba cada mañana a Londres en tren para estudiar inglés en un colegio y regresaba a Surrey por la tarde a la hora de la cena. Tengo muy buenos recuerdos de Londres y de Surrey, especialmente cuando los viernes por la tarde íbamos a comprar "fish and chips" para cenar :)
ReplyDeleteFrancesc y yo os deseamos un Feliz Año Nuevo!!!
Un abrazo, Sonia.
Hi Sonia thanks for leaving such a lovely message. It's wonderful to know that you have visited my home county... and enjoyed the fish and chips too :o) The nearest I have been to where you are is probably when we had a holiday near Sant Pere Pescador but I know you are still a lot further South than this. We enjoyed the very friendly people, beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, fabulous food... and we wish one day to go back. Our only bad memory there was one day when Thomas lost control of his wheelchair and ended up in a ditch. I instinctively threw myself between him and the bottom of the ditch and it took four very strong Spanish men to pull out Thomas in his chair and to free me; thankfully we were only a bit bruised. I hope you have a great 2015 and I promise to try to keep in touch with you guys much better.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo, Jerry x
Hello Jerry!:) You certainly had a busy 2014, and it's been very interesting to read all about it. I thoroughly enjoyed the vídeo clip, and seeing all your photos. I can see you have formed a close friendship with your fellow harp makers and loved seeing the two group photos. You have such a talented family, and good friends,what more can anyone want, except good health to enjoy them which I wish for you and your family this year.
ReplyDeleteTake care,x
Did you realize there is a 12 word phrase you can communicate to your man... that will trigger deep emotions of love and impulsive attraction to you deep inside his chest?
ReplyDeleteBecause deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, idolize and guard you with all his heart...
12 Words That Fuel A Man's Love Response
This instinct is so built-in to a man's brain that it will drive him to try harder than before to love and admire you.
Matter of fact, fueling this dominant instinct is so essential to having the best ever relationship with your man that the instance you send your man a "Secret Signal"...
...You will instantly notice him open his heart and mind for you in such a way he's never experienced before and he will identify you as the one and only woman in the universe who has ever truly fascinated him.
