Why I think I might start drumming...

Every now and then I hear other parents tell me - not seldom without a poorly hidden despondency in their voices - that they have just bought a drum kit for their child, because said child really, really wants to become a drummer...


I have often wondered how I would react if one of my boys presented this idea to me...

Glorious, GLORIOUS part of this home, housing the indoor swimming pool.






I am not sure I would jump up and down with joy... 
I think I would rather spend the rest of the day trying to convince them that the instruments 
they are already playing are SO much better for them, for so many reasons... 
Noise level being one of them... 


However...




... having today fallen completely and irrevocably in love with this 
stunning house and its equally stunning gardens...



 I am beginning to think that this drumming business is not such a bad idea after all...


If this is what Nick Mason, former drummer in Pink Floyd, is able to call home (one of his homes) today 
(and yes, this is his home, on the outskirts of our little town)...


... I think my view of my boys potentially choosing a drumming career might just have changed dramatically...


In fact, I think I might give it a go myself!!!

Summer greetings to you all!
