Some Good News

My son took part in the school talent show yesterday and today - and he won! He played a piece which he had composed on the piano. The person who came second was a dancer and he has asked my son to compose a piece for him to dance to at the Christmas show. Amazingly, my son was given £50 for winning.

This is just over 2 weeks after his procedure for kerotoconus and he still has a hazy vision in one eye. So proud. :j
