Good morning, Hannah and all! I intend to combat the dreariness today by putting up the Christmas tree and doing some baking. 😊

Morning Tom and all. I can't help thinking that Pavarotti would be rather amused by the fate of his statue, and enjoy all those high fives (as a change from high Cs, perhaps?) 😀

Morning Hannah and all. I'll go with Advent-y! I was at a performance of Manchester Collective & Marian Consort's 'Wintering' last night, so I'm definitely feeling seasonal vibes. 😊

Good Morning Hannah and all. Brrr! The duvet is particularly attractive today - thank you for braving the cold to bring us such uplifting music. The rousing BB7 a perfect tribute to St Cecelia! 😊

Yes, plenty of reasons to be cheerful. I wish I could get my head around Insta better, although it seems more like one-way traffic there and harder to interact.

Morning Helen! All quiet here too, it seems. Nice musical choices this morning, though.

Morning Tom and all. Some lovely musical choices (and quirky birdsong!) to greet a chilly day here.

Morning Linton and Breakfasters. Love the Partita, but would have to say the good old Toccata and Fugue is my favourite.

Morning Hannah and all. Very chilly here, so the duvet is tempting me to stay and listen a little longer...

Morning Hannah and all - what a joyous video clip! Not sure about Hildegard's liquorice tea, but I'm about to make my daily pot of the good, strong Yorkshire variety. That sorts most things out! Wishing everyone a lovely weekend. 😊

Morning Hannah and all! Hearing you talk about David Hockney makes me realise it's a while since I've been to Salt's Mill. Time for another visit soon, methinks...

Good morning, Hannah, Zerlina, and Breakfasters! Given Storm Amy, I'd say anything by a wind ensemble would be appropriate... 😉

Good morning, Hannah and everyone - another lovely programme! All this talk of Breakfast Bangers and Gershwin's egg and toast is making me hungry... 😋

Morning Hannah and all. That reel-to-reel looks a fearsome beast! I wonder what tales it could tell about the music that's passed through it over the years...

Morning Hannah and all - lovely to hear your voice on Breakfast! My favourite Prom so far has to be the overnight Dusk till Dawn - a unique experience I'll never forget. The Halle's Mahler 2 a close second, but spoiled for choice, really - such an excellent season. 🎵 ❤️
