Caught up with this 2evenings ago and yes so interesting and exciting. And of course such a brilliant performer!

Sorry I presume you knew. I had a (very!) unexpected heart attack in early October. Recovering now steadily and almost back to normal. Totally agree about the problems of water industry and sewage dumping. Dreadful.

Francis Cadell first visited the island of Iona off the west coast of Scotland in 1912 and returned every year afterwards, frequently in the company of Samuel Peploe. He felt the light was of the same quality as that in the south of France.

Such a great selection of music so far.

Sounds eminently suitable and sure it’ll help! I’ve had to manage with honey and lemon only as can’t find any suitable tipple!

Missed the programme yesterday, but shall catch up today as sounds v interesting. Do have a good excuse though, as was at a superb concert (in Saffron Hall)-Aurora Orchestra playing Mendelssohn Italian symphony, from memory or course!

Good morning Hannah and Breakfasters. Loving the music selections so far, especially the joyful Haydn just now. Definitely a good start.

ruth-rien.bsky.social @ruth-rien.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

An interesting programme so far and I agree with others about the Anerio bring delightful. Thanks for looking after us this week Linton, and enjoy some later starts to your days next week !

ruth-rien.bsky.social @ruth-rien.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Been with you all the way. Many thanks to you and the team for a programme full of interesting and beautiful music choices.

It was as anything by Bach is worth hearing. But it did make me think!

010

ruth-rien.bsky.social @ruth-rien.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

And it was a very good BB7. But favourite piece? An impossible question! One (all) of cello suites, or perhaps the Dona nobis Pacem from B Minor mass. But then there’s Erbarme dich from Matthew Passion, plus several other parts of both passions. Definitely impossible choice…..!

Good morning Linton and Breakfasters. Not quite before the sun ! But have been listening from the start and enjoying your music choices. (Bach sublime)

Good morning Linton and team, and Breakfasters. Certainly a cracking start, and what a delight to hear that Bach B7- such a joyful uplifting sound! (More like that on other days please)

ruth-rien.bsky.social @ruth-rien.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

Up and down days Gerard, but am improving. And yes I’m trying to be good by following instructions for very gradually increasing amount of activity. So 😇I think 😂!

Good morning Hannah, breakfast team and all Breakfasters. Lovely start to the programme. This new recording of the Goldbergs was rather good. Now thinking whether I need a nothing recording in my collection!

Good morning! Your @bbcradio3 Saturday Breakfast team are raring to go. Thistles, Venus, and Goldberg Variations before 7 but we’re curious: what’s the music that reminds you of home?

ruth-rien.bsky.social @ruth-rien.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Galloping indeed ! Good morning Hannah and Breakfasters. Loved the Bach B7 ( forgot what it was -not on listings) and now thanks for this by Hildegard which is gorgeous and sounds quite “modern”.

You are so right. This evening I went along for first time to local Art Group (in town I’ve just moved to). A demo of pastels over acrylic textured ground was very interesting. I usually paint in oils but came away with some ideas!

Peder Severin Krøyer's work depicts his wife Marie in their garden at Skagen in June 1892, a picture that puts you on the spot. Like Monet, Krøyer can see colours and contrasts and radiances that most people can't.

That was my thought as well. I’m trying Instagram but finding it very clunky and difficult (for old fogie like me😂!)

Twitter music community seems much less. And many of BBC radio 3 presenters seem to be going across to Instagram

I like it. But one for bin I’d have thought. Perhaps turn it to the wall and not look at it for a month or two?

Acquisition news! Michael Ayrton frequently created imaginative, myth-infused landscapes with classical architecture floating in half-realist, half-dreamlike settings. The Fry Gallery is very grateful to Adam Forman for this generous gift. Sacred Place, oil on chipboard by Michael Ayrton, 1958
