Here are several pictures for your enjoyment

from my self-guided tour of the house .

Of course that's Chipper seated with me on the piano.

Dear friend Elaine Sills, who invited me to play,
insisted on this shot with Katharine Boyd in the background.

I love this vintage post office, still with some of
Mrs. Boyd's personal labels.

This room was stocked with vintage toys.

This year Santa wasn't in the tub.  

Weymouth was the fourth different venue

where I've shared Christmas music this week,

with more coming up the next two weeks.

There's nothing I enjoy more.
