August 9, 2024Surprise birthday party
Turning 90 was not my favourite thing but the day brightened when David showed up playing the bagpipes. Playing all the old Scottish songs took me right back to Scotland and my feet were tapping away and my heart soaring. He is charming and I enjoyed his patter - he is "nae sae bad" playing the pipes either! His playing is beautiful and perfect, everyone was in awe, Thanks, David, you made my day - good luck to you and keep on piping. Barbara
