The organist librarian

A delightful day at Kew gardens with the boys. We followed the Dragon trail and found all but one of them, saw the monster, the wonderful temperate house the largest greenhouse in the world, the pagoda and Dragon activities and actors as Princess Augusta, Sir William Chambers and the mason who were excellent.

Tuesday All Saints day we drove to Eastbourne for Ron's funeral. Great to see old friends again - we seldom see them. Richard thomas conducted Cast thy burden and Bgoroditse and all went well. The reception at the hotel was nice and lovely to see Ron's photos, Beethoven 9 score and album. Barbara has many more and she needs help identifying when the photos were taken. Lovely ones with Prince Charles. We went on A22 and came back on the M23. Tea and then set off for painting. I was late as train cancelled and first train to Richmond full. Had trouble mixing colours. Watched first Gareth Malone programme searching for best choir in Britain. Wednesday took Sean to Kew to see The Hive and had lunch. Had torubel getting him out of the playground and he wanted a toy but I said No. Picked up Ciaran and Liz went to the parents information meeting. 90 minutes to get home. Phoned Jill which was helpful. 

To art and good progress. Nelson has not been to the Hermitage! Wednesday took Seán to Tamar's session and he enjoyed it.Lysander was joining in! To Kew for lunch (Sean ate most of my chicken) and he played indoors. I finished Alexander McCall Smith The Limpopo academy of private detection which seems familiar but is not listed in books I have read. Chocolate icecream cones. Evensong from Hereford cathedral. To Dulwich Catenian meeting and Duncan became a joint member. Proms prospectus came and the photo frames.
