I’m training for a 10km run to raise money for the wonderful charity Music of Life. They go into schools for disabled children weekly and form a choir. The kids learn, develop and, importantly, have a brilliant time! It’s joyful 😍 Please sponsor me if you can! 🙏🤗 www.justgiving.com/page/carolyn...

I’m looking at different ways to delete my X posts before deactivating the account. Has anyone done this, and did you use TweetDelete, Circleboom, something else?

I think it is just quite a bit quieter… I’m assuming it will build up gradually 🤷‍♀️😬

On my way to Baden Baden to sing Mozart Requiem. This book is keeping me company and I’m enjoying it so far. Have a feeling it’s going to make me cry at some point…!

The man on the chair with me - Ian Smith - was a formative part of my early music education and I am so grateful to have had him and others to set me on this path 🤗

This made me particularly happy today! Working with dear friends who have known me for years ❤️ Singing Messiah with a great amateur choir always brings home how lucky we are to have these opportunities and that we must keep this important music-making alive for future generations.

I am currently having the battle with my daughter, who wants to give up violin. So tough to work out whether I’m being pushy parent, or doing the best thing for her 🤷‍♀️

This is Archie. We brought him home from the RSPCA about 3 years ago and he makes us all very happy 🥰

Ah… interesting! Thought I might have found a workaround… Maybe I should do one of these sponsored learn-a-new-instrument things and find out a bit more!

I’ll just miss out the C# s then! How about Dflat?!
