In Haste!

Sometimes, in the winter, when there is a sunny but cold day, the Campo becomes warmer and more welcoming than anywhere else... 
and that is when it is easy to sit there and nod off gratefully...oblivious of time but not space
But there has been activity too! Here are the sopranos (me at far back) of  my gospel choir, just before our performance in the venerable, ancient Santa Maria dei Servi, Siena, below:
but now a couple of hectic weeks in London, preparing my Ladbroke Grove flat for the arrival of Les and Patty on Saturday, and catching up with old friends.. here Sanjay:
                                                                                  
and here, last night, to the left of  me (I am wearing a mask because of bad cold) David, who has all the best tickets for all the best things in London.  We are in St Martins in the Field for Bach's Christmas Oratorio,  the Monteverdi choir and orchestra directed by John Eliot Gardiner. We both once more concurred the blindingly obvious: Bach is God.  
And we were in Heaven.
                                                         

More soon....
