Day out in London

Went to a Lunchtime Concert in St.Martin in the Fields by the Florian Quartet

---

Programme

Haydn – Op. 20 No. 2 in C

Bach – Contrapuncti 1, 4, 11, 5, and 9 from The Art of Fugue

Afterwards we had a cuppa in the crypt followed by a picnic in St.Jame's Park. Then we walked past Buck Palace and went to see the new(ish) Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park. A staggering 55,000 lives were lost (half of Bomber Command) at the beginning of the war. I signed a petition asking for further recognition for the good works of Robin Gibb (R.I.P.), including his tireless contribution towards the Bomber Command Memorial. The petition is asking for him to be given a posthumous knighthood - pointless really, since knighthoods are never given posthumously, but I signed it anyway!
