Music to warm the heart

For those of you that don't know I'm a massive polar exploration fan.........and of the things I found out over the years is that earnest Shackleton insisted on one of his crew taking a banjo to brighten the long dark polar days.  Well I didn't pack my banjo, this time, but we did find a piano at our lodgings.....bye the banjo photo is actually the banjo that got taken to Antarctic by Shackleton ( it was on display at Falmouth maritime museum last year when we took the kids!)
