Angela Tilby

Angela Tilby led day of prayer at St Margaret's on Seeking the face of God. Wonderful talks. Had lunch at Methodist Central Hall. Had the shrine to myself!!!! Evensong Noble in B minor and favourite anthem Wesley Ascribe unto the Lord. The boys were great not so sure about some of the men. The B team? Harwood sonata movement. Had a look in the new Waterstones near Victoria. It's huge. Bishop Paul confirmation. His Irish accent is so think I did not understand his homily at all. He filled the chalice so Aymeric and I had to drink it! Patrick seemed confused! Fr John helped out.  To fit the gospel played Bach O lamm Gott unschuldig and Handel Behold the lamb of God. We sang Webbe Lamb of God. Full marks to Imogen who had been to see the exhibition. She found it too sad to bid! Reached Caterham station in time and tried to get on train. Turns out front 4 coaches only. Furious with 2 staff more concerned with waving the train out. They could have made it wait. Why long trains on...

William Whitehead

To National Gallery and saw pictures from Barber institute and the Turners and Constables then to National Portrait gallery with fine new picture of the Duchess of Cambridge. Walked through Soho which is fascinating to St Patrick's for William Whitehead's recital on the restored 1793 organ. Rome to Home. That organ really sings.Samuel wbbe (was organist of the church) Maurice Greene, Haydn, de Grigny, Pepusch - a fine programme. Home and then to West Norwood to pick up Liz. She has had her hair cut very short. The Apprentice.
