Hearing

Very pleased with new hearing aid mould. Listened to Prom talk on Henry James in Italy and wrote provincial president's blog for newsletter. Incomparable Simon Callow reading Goethe and Hoffmann at preProm talk and Brahms Piano concerto 2 with Peter Serkin. Skipped second half. Liz could not get there - no trains from West Norwood and I had a slow journey standing to London bridge.

Today we had a glorious day on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway with excellent fish and chips at Dungeness. Lamb House in Rye (home of Henry James, E.F.Benson and Eleanor Farjeon) and Smallhythe Place where Dame Ellen Terry lived.  Liz found a piano stool for £40 in Rye but we could not find a cash machine! Total of 242 miles.
