How lovely, a rain free Sunday with added sunshine!
We were up early to attend the Eucharist at St John's Canton, enabling us to visit the Riverside Market early and then get home to prepare lunch. Mike and Gail drove down from Worcester to eat with us before we went to an afternoon performance of Verdi's opera 'La Traviata' in the Wales Millennium Centre. We arrived with time to spare for a stroll along the waterside before taking our places.
It was the same production that we saw five years ago, as ever with fine singers and stirring chorus work. It doesn't seem quite that long since we saw this last. Time flies as you get older, for sure, but to my mind the reason it seems as if we saw it more recently is the enduring memory of the music and the quality of its performance. Being out in Spain this winter has meant missing out on our other opera bookings, so it was important to return this week for an outing with our oldest friends.
It was good to be home by half past seven, to enjoy supper and more conversation before they made their longer journey home.
