Bridesmaid Dot with pageboy Bruce at Walter and Joyce’s wedding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here we are in the middle of Easter, with suitably dark, damp and dismal weather (suitable for the Saturday, that is), and we have just been\u00a0to a very short concert at St Luke’s, at which a 15-year-old boy played Bruch’s violin concerto with St Gregory’s Orchestra. Quite a good audience, including Judy and Carrie. Dot chatted with several of the musicians afterwards.<\/p>\n

Lent is over, of course, and so is my sequence of poems. I managed to do one a day, and some of them are quite good; so that was pleasing.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (Good Friday) Dot and I went to sing in the Haymarket with an odd collection of Christians from different churches (we were some of the oddest, of course). I found it all a bit bewildering; we sung a couple of totally unsuitable hymns (old and inaccessible), and the pastor of Meadow Way gave a talk that was very good for the first ten minutes. Mary (not the original one) wanted Dot to start people singing some Taize chants, and eventually she did, which was a lot braver than I would have been \u2013 though I did back her up. In fact that went quite well.<\/p>\n

Afterwards Dot and I helped Mary take the cross back to St Stephens, where we had lunch with her.<\/p>\n

Back on Tuesday the Paston trustees met at Lucy’s. Traffic was terrible, and I took ages to get there. There was a rabbit in the room, which gave me another poem. (I can see you picturing it.) Back in Norwich I managed to get the minutes done the same night, before going with the Archers to Judy’s for Cake and Compline.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday Dot had her stitches out, which was fairly painful at one point. The nurse warned her to be careful with the finger to avoid the wound coming apart; so she put her arm in a sling for a while. In the evening she went to orchestra but didn’t play. Simon took her, which resulted in her arriving home after 11.30pm.<\/p>\n

On Thursday we went to Angela’s again, where we continued our trawl through Ethel’s things. This time we went to to a Marston’s pub, and I had some quite acceptable fish and chips.<\/p>\n

This morning we went up to M&S to buy some food for the family visit \u2013 partly because Dot had some offers on her M&S Sparks card, whatever that is. We got the bus home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
