🌱 Our camellia has been flowering since early December (Malvern UK)

Have some sun 🌱

🌱 Many plants have stopped flowering, but our agapanthus and hibiscus syriacus ‘Bluebird’ are wonderful.

🌱 My favourite season - cow parsley in bloom

Back in my favourite place at CBSO Symphony Hall Birmingham - Dvorak, Still, Rachmaninoff conducted by Joshua Weilerstein. Choir rehearsal later - Poulenc Stabat Mater🎶🎵

Me too! 🎶🎵

Guy Verhofstadt 🇪🇺 A historic, shameful moment in US history as it votes with Belarus, Russia at the UN. The gamekeeper has become the poacher. Churchill & Roosevelt turn in their graves.

Oh America, this is not the USA I taught in as an Exchange Teacher 1978-79. I’m so sad for the downfall caused by your President 😢

Have you heard this? 👇 Thousands of voices recorded over four and a half years come together with cello by Laura Peribañez Artero to perform Quanta Qualia by Patrick Hawes. It's the perfect soundtrack if you just need 5 minutes quiet time as a new, busy week approaches. Enjoy! youtu.be/acZx_FJlSrI

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary BBC Singers have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. Conducted by David Hill.

🎄🎶 It's officially Advent, which means it's time to break out the Festive Favourites playlist on #RadioChoral! Enjoy gorgeous music by @bobchilcott.bsky.social, @johnrutter.bsky.social, Britten, Vaughan-Williams and more, performed by our amazing global singers. Enjoy! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

130 singers made a joyous sound @choiroftheearth.com at St Gabriel’s Church Pimlico (Haydn’s Nelson Mass). Thanks to our conductor @benenglandbem.bsky.social, pianist Richard Gowers, our Fieri Consort soloists & all volunteer helpers.

The Malvern Hills yesterday (all credit to C Bright for walking up there)

This will be good! Come and listen if you can…

LOOK AT THE JOY!!!! #WorldBollardAssociation

What a surprise (not)!

Should I be worried about sunburn?!

Utterly depressing news. Going to spend my time today on gardening and music.

I don’t follow people who’ve never posted anything and follow hundreds of others. Getting quite a few on here now.

Beautiful liquid amber trees in our local supermarket car park 🌱

Fabulous displays of vegetables at the Malvern Autumn Show! 🌱

Very proud to sing Mahler3 in Monaco last Sunday as a member of CBSO Chorus with Kazuki Yamada, Gerhild Romberger, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte Carlo and children from Academie Rainier III - to remember their musician Franck Lavogez who died suddenly in August. A very atmospheric season opener.

Happy last day of August! 🌱

This is fun!

Looking forward to our first CBSO Chorus rehearsal since summer break - Beethoven 9, ready for concert on 19th Sept. Might be around the 20th time now but I love it 🎶🎵

Look at all these free events next week in and around Birmingham! I’m proud to be a member of the CBSO family and hope you find something to enjoy - come to a concert for £1 on 1st Sept or look out for the full orchestra at New St station on 30th Aug 😍 cbso.co.uk/cbso-in-the-...

Well, it’s done. I’ve deactivated my X account, downloaded an archive but really don’t feel the need to look at it. Quite liberating!

@bsky.app A musical tribute to your new platform courtesy of the great Irving Berlin. Quite appropriate lyrics for your platform I think! 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSdg...

An observation in my garden

Don’t set your expectations too high if you follow me - I’ll mainly be looking, learning and finding interesting people to follow. A bit of a ‘lurker’ initially.

An explorer migrating from the musky place. So far I like this better than Threads and it seems more user-friendly. We shall see.
