I've been quite busy since the last time I wrote. I'm working on a number of new (for me) sonatas by Scarlatti and Soler, with a view to putting on another concert in a few months. I've also been spending a lot of time trying to knock the garden into shape. Apart from that I've had my usual sessions at the historic building. Yesterday we had another group of children from Chernobyl, who had come to England for a holiday. They were such fun, playing games in the garden, dressed in period costume, and joining in with the music. I find days like that really worthwhile.
Earlier in the week, while we were closed, an elderly Ukrainian woman and her daughter were looking round the garden, so I showed her around the building. She spoke very little English, but my smattering of half-remembered Russian came in really handy. They really liked the place. There are times I realise I'm not as daft as I think I am.
