So sorry things are going to be more difficult for you both in future – I am sure you will be a great support to your wife in her new situation.

Hope all goes well Peter.

We used both when I was at school but seem to have settled on centigrade thankfully!

Agreed – I had a very quick run through some of the sounds last night – the Cor Anglais is rather nice and is often an instrument ignored by other free orchestras – it is also one of my favourites. Solo cello sounded good too

Hottest day of the year so far in the UK I believe – though only around 13 – 15 degrees C in York. Shame I spent most of it cleaning as we have friends coming at the weekend! Managed a walk round the York City Walls though which is always a treat!
