16 years today my lion-hearted Mum died. She came into this life in a thunderstorm and left it - rather hastily courtesy of a subarachnoid haemorrhage - in the drizzle

Found this photo of my great grandfather Professor Fred Hankins of the Guildhall School of Music. He’s 48 in this photo and on a mountain walking holiday at Luzern in Switzerland. I’d have loved to have known him

A wonderful surprise - the new Glyndebourne Figaro is excellent! In fact it was so good I booked to see another performance. And I loved the last production hugely and was sad to see it go. This one is traditionally set but fresh, modern and very well acted

How sad it’s goodbye - the wry wit of Tom Lehrer who died on Saturday. My favourite was easily ‘The Masochism Tango’ - ‘Let our love be a flame not an ember, Swear it’s me that you’ll always dismember ….’ www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...
Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97
A child prodigy in mathematics who graduated Harvard at just 19, his darkly prophetic and cynical show tunes won him a cult following in the 50s and 60s

Strange feeling. Mum born a century ago today - we had her for 84. Here’s a photo of her as a toddler plus two aunts (Clara and Mabel) on the beach at Broadstairs staring out from a world so incredibly different to ours today. For the first time it feels like she’s definitely gone! 100 years- gosh

Lovely afternoon at The Grange Festival with Hugh Canning and a completely terrific performance of Die Fledermaus - made all the more charming by a real bat flying into the auditorium in Act III. Enormously enjoyable day all round

I also love these full-on, fleshy peonies that look like something from a 50s Sci-Fi movie - simply too much fun!

A very relaxing 12 hours labouring in the garden today and the first rose of the year out - Madame Pierre Oger. We’ve never had a rose out in April before.
