Mendelssohn's Wedding March on a Victorian music box, Judy Dench reading Millais, an extract from an interview with a 72-year-old Henry Wood and lots of interesting stuff about the Royal Albert Hall, including the thousands of 'A's. Also an enjoyable musical discovery - what I thought might be some Malcolm Arnold turned out to be a Suite of Cotswold Country Dances by Philip Lane. Perfect breakfast fare for at least 2 listeners who clearly lack the intellectual stamina to sit through substantial pieces before 10.00 a.m. Unfortunately, when our domestic routine then allows us to sit down and listen to arguably more nutritious fare, we have to look elsewhere - luckily we have many CDs that are overdue for another outing.

Stuck out here on the East Coast, we're ideally placed to observe and enjoy. in a totally objective way, these spats between various other parts of the (currently) United Kingdom! We're thinking of declaring independence, but can't agree on what to call the new East Anglian currency, and whether to erect a tollbooth on the Orwell Bridge or simply close it permanently (as against the current policy of shutting it whenever the wind rises above force 4).Originally posted by antongould View PostComment
