This morning I woke up to the sound of my five-year-old playing the piano… and honestly, it stopped me.
A proper full-circle moment.
When I was a little girl, I always wanted to learn the piano.
But it just wasn’t something that was possible back then.
So when we moved into our forever home 18 months ago, having a piano was always in the vision — but definitely not top of the budget.
Then something happened that never happens.
Someone in my husband’s work — where he’s been for eight years — mentioned they had a piano they didn’t want anymore. Free, if someone could lift it.
That has literally never happened before. It felt meant to be.
And of course, we called VK Removals.
These are the same team who moved us from Belfast in the height of COVID with a newborn, snow, ice, slippy roads — and not one complaint about my fairly chaotic packing. Just kindness and graft.
They collected the piano from Belfast, carried it down stairs, and totally impressed my husband’s colleague with how professional and easy they made it look.
Then they came to deliver it — and we’d a local wedding that day too.
And to top it all off, when they arrived, they couldn’t get into the house because our spare key wasn’t where we thought we’d left it ?
Honestly… only us.
But did they get annoyed?
Not at all.
They just found a solution, no stress, no drama, and left the piano safe in the garage.
I upcycled it — sanding, painting, giving it new life.
Then yesterday, in stormy, soaking-wet weather, the VK team came back again.
Soaked, smiling, blankets over everything, chatting to the children… and moved the piano to its new place inside our home.
What a company.
What incredible staff.
They’ve been with us through so many big moments — and now they’ve helped me fulfil a childhood dream.
This morning, listening to my son playing…
my heart is full. ?
