A week last Thursday, before we could finally be on our way to Ludlow, we had to wait for Tom's drum kit to be delivered.
Now, Tom has been playing drums for about 8 months and in that time has been wanting his own drum kit..as you can imagine living in such a small house with neighbours on all sides - this was something that caused a lot of pondering. Anth and I were/are thrilled that he wants to play an instrument but ...drums!
He has a lesson once a week and has improved as the months have progressed so the money that he was saving for an i-pod have gone on a second hand drum kit from e-bay.
It arrived at 2pm in 2 enormous boxes -
the delight on his face brought tears to my eyes because this teenager's face is often slow to smile as life's pressures (exams looming, summer jobs) sit heavy on him at times.
Green Day will continue on in this house but with a louder ummph....maybe he'll get good enough and be invited to play with Coldplay!
Well, a girl can dream can't she...?
