Tuesday morning. We're into our half-term week now, a whole week of not having to get up early for the training course. Bliss. And the weather is gorgeous. Most of the roses in the garden are out (Zan's collection of old roses), and the fragrance is like paradise (not that I've been there).

Today, we're rehearsing for this weekend's trip to Spain with the Dufay Collective. Tomorrow, I'm rehearsing with Liz for the July lute duet trip to Alicante.
