Saturday, we headed into Perth to see 'Place des Anges'. It was a very magical experience, with aerial performers as Angels, throwing feathers from up high onto the city. The feeling and experience reminded me of being in the snow in Glasgow, when we lived in Scotland. It was so much fun, and after the feathers finished falling, they put on some music and everyone got in and played with and threw feathers. Everyone was smiling and it was just a joyous experience.
Finally today we went out busking, with Gabriel all dressed up in a bow tie and red hat. He had so many photos taken of him, it was very funny. He asked, at one point, if he was being mistaken for someone famous! I explained to him, it was just he looked quite stylish, and people don't expect boys to be dressed like that. We also chatted to a man about repairing guitars- he was repairing his in Central Park, on Hay St, and he recommended a book on learning guitar to Gabriel, so we will have to look that up later.

We did so much busking for years, and it all came to an end around covid time when Arden decided that he didn't want to do it anymore, and Irving wasn't keen to take it up either. Irving had a couple of goes with Arden when he was very small, but the attention doesn't appeal to him I think.
Quite a contrast to Willow who started us off on the journey, aged about 8, and decided that she needed money. So she partnered up with a friend at Suzuki concert, and they both put out their violin cases and made some money. After that Willow was convinced to keep busking, and she regularly busked at the Adelaide Farmer's Market, until we moved to Perth.
