I just found this lovely piece about children with Down's learning piano - Tom, the first boy mentioned, sounds fab, doesn't he?
But it's how I found it that is making me smile - I am working at home at the moment doing Primary Times event listings for Bucks.
-
I was looking at the events calendar for The Chiltern Society
-
It featured an open day at Lacey Green Windmill
-
The windmill site has an obituary for the man who was instrumental in getting the windmill restored, Christopher Wallis
-
The obit mentioned that he was the son of Barnes Wallis, and had an older sister, Mary
-
My oldest school friend was at college (I think) with a grand-daughter of Barnes Wallis and Marie Stopes, whose father is Harry Stopes-Roe and whose mother must be Mary Wallis
-
I just casually looked up Helena Stopes-Roe on google (it is a very memorable name!) and found her as the mother of Tom the pianist!
How fab is that
