@ClassicFM @ArtsLucy Could you play Fanny Mendelssohn’s Nocturne in G minor and / or “Zum Ziele Führt Dich Diese Bahn” from the Magic Flute for my mum on women’s day? I’m having lunch with her right now and only get to see her a couple of times a year.

I found Kenilworth Ivy in my backyard. I know its name from an app. Apparently it was brought to Oxford with a bunch of sculptures in the 17th century.

@OlivetteOtele I’m always so happy when I see it. By the way, we’re going to read it at my college’s history workshop this week.
