Well, we had to stay somewhere and at the last minute we scored Clevedon Manor of Castlemaine. This was yet another blessing. We always leave things till the last minute but due to a cancellation we were able to stay there. How good is that!
This place is pretty nice, especially in the early morning when the sun spreads its warm fingers across the green leaves and into the shadows. The place also has a massive front hedge. There were very nice photo opportunities.
What is more, the place came with a working pianola with loads of music scrolls. We all had a turn pumping the peddles and enjoyed the old marching music that 'thumped' out of it. Just look at the concentration and effort Barb is giving it on her turn.
It works on air. When it escapes out of a hole in the moving scroll a piano key is pulled down and a hammer hits a note. It is a bit like the (X-Box) electronic game 'Guitar Hero', only in reverse. It's like we were really playing the piano. Sometimes the scroll lost its line and the tune went silly, but that was rare and we had a great time pretending we were accomplished.
