To art and sunset picture.

A most enjoyable evening judging Wimbledon circle photo night and the judges were in agreement! Excellent meal. We went to Mass at Sacred Heart Wimbledon for All Saints.

Urgent appeal for the lunch after the Mass. To the park to eat sandwiches and I went to Marks to get boxed drinks and fruit bars. The concert started late as there was a problem with water in the Albert Hall and loos only available on the ground floor! Ciarán and Seán loved it and we had good seats at the front of the circle. The best bit was "Going on a bear hunt".  Tom Redmond  compère Timothy Redmond  conductor Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra London Youth Choir The youth choir did well in the Mozart Requiem section.

Wimbledon

On buses and tram to Wimbledon for a free organ recital given by David Gammie and others to celebrate the centenary of the Walker organ in Sacred Heart church. Bach Passacaglia and Ad Wammes Miroirs, Widor. Nice to have the screen. Soler duet and Robert Ampt's Variations on Waltzing Matilda for 4 feet. Nice cake like an organ and wine in the hall. I told David Gammie I had met Robert Ampt and Amy but he didn't seem very interested. Andrew Cessana was there.
