At last, a beautiful warm spring sunny day, the kind where you can feel the warmth of the sun on your back and you don’t need a coat. That was Thursday and I spent the afternoon in the garden finishing the rose pruning and planting the last tall red primulas.

We had a wonderful day out in Bristol on 21st. We drove down after an early lunch and spent an hour visiting the SS Great Britain, Brunel’s first iron ship.

This is my favourite picture of the day

The houses on the hill remind me of the song Little Boxes
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same
There’s a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one

Then in the evening we were off to Colston Hall to see Collabro, a marvellous evening. They were wonderful even better than I had expected and their guest soprano Catriona Murray was a really talented young singer. They did songs from Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera and Catriona sang You’ll Never Walk Alone which has always been a favourite of mine.

I bet you had a great time. I love musicals and also any place where I can listen to live music. I saw the Mormon Tabernacle choir two years ago and had a wonderful time. At different times in my life, I have cried, not because of the lyrics, but because of how the vocals and so intertwined with the instruments. An example would be The Hallelujah Chorus. I've always wanted to go to London on Christmas Eve and hear The Westminster Abby Choir. So that's on my bucket list.
