In May, 2021 mum called me to say that our dear Dad had left some money for me and my sister. She told me that I had to do something good with it.
A few days later, I found myself and Neil driving to Surrey to visit Pilgrim Harp’s workshop to look at a harp I had seen the night before. And I came home with it!
I bought a 34 string, cherry wood, hand made lever harp - a Skylark - from Pilgrim Harps in Surrey. All I can say is; it felt right.
Since then, I have grown a little harp collection! And it has been a beautiful journey deep into my heart. Settling the harp on my shoulder, feeling the beautiful, clear sound resonating with all my molecules, enveloping me in it’s vibrational tones and melodies is something I find hard to describe. I can’t express how interconnected I feel with this incredibly beautiful instrument.

I sometimes record myself playing the harp and set The music to videos of beautiful nature that I took out and about.
I was very honoured to have been asked to participate in this project - it's me playing my harp on the video ‘The woodcutter’s Song’ link below.
