When the drizzle refuses to stop and the sky is all grey, what could be better than curling up in your favourite cosy jumper and diving into your scrapbook? 🌧️🧣 Here’s a little peek at my September 2025! ✨📖

Finally found the time to finish this monthly #scrapbook. August was full of contrasts — challenges and joys, movement and stillness.

A while ago, I attended an absolutely inspiring talk by Beste Sevindik, who told us about Nobu Koba and performed excerpts from her 1st violin sonata. I couldn’t resist trying it on my cello! The music is lyrical, somewhat Beethoven-esque and technically demanding. 🎻✨ #musicology #Asiastudies #cello

🌞✨ Wow – this summer has gone by faster than I could keep up with documenting it… but this morning I finally carved out a little time to finish my digital scrapbook for July! ✂️📸

This is my recording of Haru no Umi (春の海, The Sea in Spring) by Michio Miyagi (宮城道雄), a beautiful piece originally composed in 1929. On our CDs, Selene and I play all tunes on our harps & flutes, but here, I’m playing it with my beloved Mrs Jacky Cello. 😊

I massively enjoyed teaching the visitors of Comic Con Utrecht some iaido (Japanese sword art) skills!

Film by Viktor Haraszti.

Whew! I just realised I haven’t been here in ages… Thank you all so much for your lovely messages—I’ll be taking some time this afternoon to read and reply properly.

I’m happy and massively enjoyed singing the Mendelssohn concert last week!

Hope you’re all keeping well! ☕📚✨
