Cambridge

Liz off to Walsingham. Another interesting day started with hearing test at Guys hospital and I should get new improved hearing aids on July 1st. Then to see my spiritual director at Farm Street and a visit to the Royal Academy to see White, black, gold by Keith Coventry and Ann Christopher's drawings. Then to Wellcome collection for States of Mind and Find a voice (both worth seeing). Then Leighton House for pre-Raphaelite drawings from Canada. I'm not that keen on them but some of them could certainly draw!An enjoyable organists crawl in Cambridge. I spent a happy time at the Fitzwilliam - special exhibition on Egyptian and Roman mummies but loved the art. Sadly we could not visit Downing after all. At Wesleyan Methodist the organist did not turn up and in the end I rang the organ tuner to find out how to turn it on. Much better was St Andrew St Baptist and then Sarah Macdonald gave us a treat at Little St Mary's on the Tickell. Best of all OLEM organ wiht Nigel Kerry and 6 p.m. Mass there beautifully celebrated. Got an earlier train to Liverpool St so gained all of 10 minutes!! Watched Durrells, Richard III, Grayson Perry,
