So much is available in this relatively small provincial gallery & museum. I am not much of a museum visitor, nor have I taken advantage of the country’s churches & cathedrals. This is changing: there is so much available to be discovered, explored, enjoyed. Much of my life has been spent abroad; now, time to be abroad in England.
This evening, also a first in an adventurous day – I am going to Bredonborough Abbey, where there is a concert. For 5 years I have been planning to do this, but haven’t yet - this is a situation that is also changing.
21.34 A most enjoyable concert with chorus of c. 60, orchestra c. 40 plus 4 soloists drawn from 2 adjoining counties: Haydn’s Te Deum, Mendelsohn’s Violin Concerto in Em (which I studied for O level music) & the Bach Mass in C. The Abbey was well attended. I am a happy boy.
