Just quietly popping my head round the door to say 'hi' 
In January this year, I finally started to learn violin. I'm 57 and although all of my children had music lessons I always thought it was too late for me, I should've learnt as a child. Then I had a health scare and started to think about what I really want, what would I regret not doing? Learning to play an instrument and read music was one of the deeply buried 'ambitions' I found.
I bought a violin in September 2018 but I was almost scared of it. Daft really, I bought it online but we have 2 violin/music stores nearby. Luckily I knew what to look for having done lots of research for my children's instruments. I didn't want to look like a fool or have anyone laugh at me for wanting to start violin at my age so buying online was easier.
It took until January 2019 for me to start lessons (after my son bought me 6 to start for Christmas). I've gone from being almost scared of my instrument and never practising when anyone's around, to learning to tune, playing simple tunes, the basics of reading music and really missing playing when I have to have a break.
I absolutely love it. My ambition is to join the community orchestra and learn to play with others, hopefully by the time I'm 60 (they accept players from Grade 4 level). My only regret is not starting sooner and thinking I'd be too old, or too late to learn anything new.
It's never too late 
I look forward to dropping by every so often and keeping up with you all x
