Retired. Hobbies include music, particularly church organs

The pipe organ which is being rebuilt in the Cardiff Temple has over 2,000 electrical connections to link each key to a pipe.

@OrganCardiff Chapter 8 says a lot about organs and organ music, both masonic and ecclesiastical.

Just back from Blackburn, now off to Jersey to play for another PGM Installation. It's a good opportunity to play other organs.

I'm paddling. . . but in a bowl under my desk. The older you get the more necessary it is to soak your toenails before cutting.

The pic shows a colleague tapping the time as I tried to accompany massed brass bands in Llandaff cathedral. Couldn't hear myself think.

We've just been to Handel's Oratorio SAUL. Instead of the usual park and bark, Glyndebourne staged a stunning spectacular. Read the reviews

An e-mail invited to play at St Paul's Cathedral. When I'd recovered I found this was St Paul's Malta, where I enjoyed playing on 9 June.

Playing York Sat 7 March, then in London 10th and 11th March. All good fun.

To prevent stumbling in old age, you should practice standing on one leg to strenghten the muscles. I've started.

Does anyone else hate packing Christmas presents? Such a messy business.

It is five to six. The villa is silent. I'm gazing over the ocean from our balcony in Kefalonia. Soon the kids will awaken and the day start

[Naunton Liles @Naunton]

It is 2 years since I tweeted. I must begin to embrace social media so will be back when re-trained by my grandchildren.

Galloped gently up and down The Mall today with three generations of Liles. Now recovering with a generous measure of Dubonnet.

This weekend we are installing a bespoke digital organ at Mark Masons' Hall, London. A unique specification to meet our ceremonial needs.

Just queued at recycling amid the Sunday rush. When it came to my turn I realise I hadn't put the stuff in the car. Is this a record?

[Naunton Liles @Naunton]

Her age, if she'd lived would be 115 years, as I was a 'mistake' when she was over 40!

While in London last Sat. I was asked if returning to Cardiff? Said I was staying over for Mother's Day. "Oh! Where does your mother live?"

[Naunton Liles @Naunton]

Climbed on the church roof yesterday afternoon to inspect damage. Not doing that again. Nerve racking. Happy going up, petrified coming down

Good luck in the house hunting!
