Sir Neville

What can I say? The scene was set, the orchestra were setting up for an evening of music, and oh, what music.

 

Mozart - Marriage of Figaro Overture
Mozart - Symphony No.25 in G minor
Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

 

and not listed on the internet, and such a lovely surprise for me:

 

 Samuel Barbers 'Adagio for Strings'

 

The atmosphere throughout the entire evening was electric, the orchestras playing perfect, and the conversations on stage between David Mellor and Sir Neville fascinating, and at times very funny indeed.

 

 

Sir Neville was charming and engaging, as we talked with him for a short while.

 

 

Afterwards we headed into Chinatown for dinner. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I would like to blame light levels etc, but it's the camera on my rubbish Iphone.

 

 

It was a wonderful couple of days, but of course all good things come to an end, and with the rest of the week of gardening forecast to be wet, not much to look foreward to.

First job the following day was a dumping trip to the tip, in the rain.

 

 



As is usually the case, we did loads more with our couple of days in London, and as it's now Saturday, and yet another day rained off workwise, I will tell you about it in the next post, as nothing on the gardening front is really getting done.

 

Have a good weekend.
