Has anyone taken up something new?

No not going to blow my own trumpet yet Anno apparently the band has spare instruments I can use for the time being. I mean how hard can it be? It's only one note at a time.

I was having second thoughts Jane but you've just given me an incentive.

[hm] darling daughter took it up. We banished upstairs with a mute for practice!
When I was young I played the violin.
My brother called it the vile din, and the Alsatian howled every time I tried to practice

Good luck with that, Anya. You must be a good musician already to have the confidence to take up a new instrument.

Thanks Anno I play the piano but wind/brass instruments are completely alien to me (except for the recorder). Hey ho, nothing ventured???

I have done a few decorated cakes and recently (with the aid of YouTube) learnt how to make sugar paste roses. I needed them for a cake for the wi party and enjoyed making them. I shall try carnations next.
