Just thought I'd add this as we (the bloggers) have been notified of migration away from the old learning system. You never know about accessibility during/after these things!
Yesterday we (me, Mum and Dad) had another trip to Aston Abbotts where a small amount of tree tidying was required. As Christine hasn't got the right tools to hand, Dad took his and managed a good job - with a little 'man handling' help from me Thanks to Christine we now have bag full of plums, and a really good example of a courgette - you don't see them like this in the supermarket these days
As well as listening to Ma Vlast (Smetana) over the last few weeks, I have also caught a number of the Proms that have been broadcast. Notably I have enjoyed Mozart and Beethoven piano concertos, Brahms and Verdi (edit- not Dvorak on this occasion!) choral works, Symphonie Fantasique by Berlioz and the 10th Symphony of Shostakovitch (from 1953).
Marches have featured in my trumpet sessions this past month or so as I find myself playing along to recordings of J.P. Sousa's band music. currently I 'join in' with Liberty Bell, Semper Fidelis, the Belle of Chicago and Washington Post - I hope the neighbours are enjoying these too!

Hi Pete,
I'm off to see AIDA next week so I'll be enjoying the blast of the Grand Triumphal March.
It's the Ellen Kent Opera Company who are staging it and they never quite have sufficient orchestra to get the required oomph in other productions, but I suppose that they only need one really accomplished trumpeter for this!
See you on the other side
