Safe and well in England, but…

Dear Reader

Humble apologies from Gloucester, but I/we are out of words. It has been more than 48 hours since we last saw a bed. 

I will provide a proper post tomorrow. 

In the meantime, here is a picture or two.

      The journey part of travel is exhausting. Once you're a bit rested you will appreciate everything. Sing well.

    How I would love to have heard the Stanford in B flat!
    I agree we should have Matins occasionally. St Jane’s King St have it most weeks.
    Keep enjoying the ride - bless every one of you 🥰🙏🏻

Coffee, Cath's, Guildford, Jamie's, Cocktails and "Tidying Up"

So now you know from the title, Dear Reader, what occurred today. Perhaps I need not write more. Perhaps I should not write more. But, Dear Reader, I will. Perhaps I will start with the end and end with the beginning... The Young Ones have just left Room 112 (my room) where they very kindly offered to help Alice and me finish off the duty free vodka and gin we bought in KL some 9 days ago. Slack work, Team. There are remnants, so the Young Ones are cordially invited back to whatever room I am allocated in Chichester tomorrow to continue their assistance in Tidying Up the duty free. What was said in Tidy Up remains in Tidy Up, and you, Dear Reader, should be grateful for this. As well as those whose reputations might be sullied by Tidy Up. Continuing our journey back in time, I will take you, Dear Reader, back to TGIF Guildford*. It stands for Thank God Its Friday. Except on their wall it says TGI FRiDAYS, with the plural marker.

Intrepid Blogging

Dear Reader I have ventured out of the Premier Inn and into the heart of Coventry. A quick purchase of a black jumper at Marks and Spencer (a habit of mine when in the UK) and a bath bomb from Lush for later tonight, along with lots of walking on my own led me here to the Golden Cross, a beautiful old pub which specialises in catering for coeliacs. Everything on the menu is suitable. It was the outside that drew me in. While I was hoping for a wood fire I have had to settle for an armchair next to the heater. I’m imbibing of a wine which has travelled further than me, from New Zealand, and waiting for my plum and apple oat crumble, also gluten free.  Which just arrived. You see, Dear Reader, we have been fed so well that I thought today I would follow up breakfast with dinner.

Shiny, Shiny Girl

Nareen Nitchingham received word today that she has passed her exam that she sat for in Guildford last week. She has been awarded her RSCM Gold Medal. Congratulations Nareen from all on tour, with special congratulations from me; I've known her since she was 8 months old, peering over the side of the pram while her brother came to Speech Therapy. I described her then as being a large pair of brown eyes with a little girl wrapped around the outside. She has achieved so much since then. Well done, Princess. Love, Auntie Chrissie PS Dear Reader, feel free to post your congratulations here, I will let her know...
