Gervase - I'm sorry but my thoughts are with your SO on this one.... and I share a house with 8 of the buggers, so she should think herself lucky.....

SO has willed all his to Cecil Sharp House so they become their problem, except the matchstick fiddle (unplayable) that his uncle made, that matches (sorry) the one in the Byany and May (matchstick makers [as opposed to matchmakers]) museum.... That goes to the bratling, who will probably try to play it like a drum if past performances are anything to go by. However, she has expressed an interest in playing the piano..... I live in hope, cos I can't get my head round the damned thing!!

Mine I guess will just be packed off along with his, unless he goes first and I get a few weeks grace for a ruddy big ritual bonfire......... there are two piano accordions in there and they burn for ages!
