@classicjacko@armslengthal Bidding war. Cooking tea, here, to wall-to-wall Palestrina. (Only joking. But wouldn't it be great if the owner, if selling, donated to a music charity?)
@carolinefrmus It'll be the local equivalent of "Le Banquet Céleste" but easier to bring to a close when the half-time drinks 'n' nibbles are all gone. 🍞🍷
@AlexaCoghlan It was emphatic and jolly noisy. Dog needed comforting. Reminded me to rejoin the Simon de Montfort Society whose annual dinner I enjoyed in Evesham as recently as 1988. https://t.co/w1OnAmelZd #Lewes
@MannGeorgia@ivanhewett@sowetokinch Putting your opinions and contributions into my microphones and live streams, @ivanhewett, was and always will be an opportunity I shall not miss: but my radio at home is permanently—pleasurably—tuned to @BBCRadio3.

@amwilson_opera@classicjacko Which reminds me: that was a fabulous talk you gave at the "Inclusivity in Opera" event in March, for our Theatrical Voice Research Centre. Hope we shall hear much more. @E_N_O were great hosts, too.
