Wow!
What a lot of lovely people on here! Thank you all so much. I feel 70 deserves another entry or two on the limerick thread!
TATOC has kept me on the go since December, and I seem to have been travelling constantly - and it goes on pretty much until the end of April, at least. Hence my contributions here are few and far between for, whenever I get home, there are stacks of bills to pay and other boring things to attend to. However, I feel I have many friends here, and I always try to glance at the forum whenever I can and from wherever I am.
They gave me a rest day on Tuesday in London last Tuesday and I was able to hear Schola sing evensong in St Paul's Cathedral on Monday evening. They sang the Taverner service unaccompanied to perfection - difficult and challenging stuff and so brave! Whilst taking tea in the crypt beforehand, I had the pleasure of chatting with current Blues as well as Bruce Grindlay and Adrian Bawtree - the latter was somewhat inconvenienced when an elderly lady tipped scalding tea down the front of his trousers! His organ performance seemed unaffected, and he filled the vast Cathedral with a magnificent voluntary at the conclusion of the service.
Then on Tuesday, I went down to CH to meet Michelle, the new CHA manager. We had a delghtful chat before lunch (which I had in hall at the invitation of a member of staff), and then, trotting out to Grecians West, who should I bump into but our own Mrs C who happened to be on duty there at the time. I also met a number of pupils some of whom have contributed here from time to time - Josh, Rosa and Kirsty among others. What delightful people they are.
I have been reminded by Oliver that I must now be officially classed as "an Elderly Old Blue" - a phrase I unfortunately used about another on here. As an occasional contributer here, he saw it. I dont think I have ever been forgiven! David Kenworthy, if you are reading this, please accept me as the newest recruit to this distinguished fraternity.

Glad to hear it
Seriously, still catching up after a long weekend away, but belated happy birthday from me too.
