Michael, the guitar maker.

More water.....more and more falling from those heavy grey clouds.
Lots more water laying on the ground again now.

This afternoon we went to see Bill's brother, Michael.
His wife and daughter were working - shame to miss them. But shops must open and nursing homes, of course, must be staffed.
Our nephew - Michael, the younger returned home before we left.
He has always been one for projects and the latest is one I much admire.
He is making guitars - using old guitars and other materials. Sometimes the body of the guitar can be transformed into a very trendy wall hanging and sometimes he makes a fully working trendy guitar.
I took some pictures.






























































Michael and a friend are hoping to develop things and find some outlets for their artistic and technical work.

There is such a variety of talents amongst all our nephews and nieces......and their offspring.
Heard today of a talent of one young nephew - 6 segments of orange peel in his mouth. Interesting the things a 6 year old will try. Lovely picture!
I had a count up and by the end of the year we will have between us 66 nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
It is wonderful to be in touch with so many and to know how their lives are blossoming.
