Yesterday we went to a lovely free Lunchtime concert given by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra ----------they were playing some of the music they will be playing at the Proms in the royal albert Hall. An interesting piece called "Rainbow" by the Scottish composer Thea Musgrave, just a short 12 minute piece describing a thunder storm and the appearance of a rainbow as the storm passes and finishing with the sun re-appearing------magical. the main piece was the good old pot boiler of Rachmaninov Piano Concerto 2 played by the fabulous Stephen Hough. The Glasgow Royal Concert hall was filled to capacity-----just goes to show what a free concert will do---------where are all these people during the winter season, I ponder!
I do hope their concert in London is a success.
Quilting-wise today I have been doing more on the September bag and more on the Waves over Rocks------just waiting an order of Totally Stable to pop through the letter-box from Rainbow Silks so I can get further on, their orders usually arrive quickly so I do not know where this one has gone to !
We seem to be brewing some stormy weather this afternoon and DH has just had to remove a small branch from our fairly new Crab Apple tree----one part of the branch broke off the last windy day and the rest seems to be parting company from the main stem today which will make the poor thing look all lopsided :-(
