Keira's been asking to learn the violin for months now, so I bought a tiny 1/4-sized one online and my Mum has kindly offered to give her lessons. So far she is practicing holding the bow and instrument, putting rosin on the bow, and opening and shutting the case. It's all very exciting.
When I was growing up, my mother, brother and sister all played the violin and I remember the soft silk scarves they would so carefully wrap them in between practices and when packing them away. Keira and I took a trip to our local antique store, and she chose this lemon-yellow piece of silk. It's very old and almost threadbare around the edges. I wonder who it used to belong to?
