Hi all,

My new lap harp (28 strings, made by a harpmaker, Bruce Lemin, in Canberra, Australia who I *met* (cyberly speaking) through the e-mail Harplist)has now been born. Cigars all round (but don't light them, they smell awful - *joke, joke*). Six months gestation period is now over.

I don't know when I will get down there to pick it up, but soon, very soon. It's a few hundred miles south so hubby & I are going to take a long weekend and make a holiday out of it as well.

So, the waiting is over but I haven't seen or heard the precious bundle yet. I'll keep you posted. I'll be posting baby photos on my homepage so you'll all get to see it.

Helen
