It’s been a week of reflection and it has been interesting to me at least, to note my different moods. Sitting with the sun on my face yesterday and reading was just bliss. I have one more week at home before returning to teaching and I am very much looking forward to being with others again. Choral activity continues online, and I still think that we will be doing so for a little longer yet.
The waiting is the hardest thing. I was out on Saturday and the simplest of things brought smiles to people’s faces – a coffee on a bench in an almost deserted city centre was about as exciting as it got. We have to be thankful for so much, especially when we compare ourselves to less fortunate countries.
This time last year I was flying back from adjudicating at the Gibraltar Festival for Young Musicians with no idea of how the next three weeks would unfold. No-one was really prepared for what the outcome would be, and it is hard to think that we are now almost 12 months on from our first lockdown.
But we have adapted and that has been our greatest strength, we have learned so much about ourselves and about each other and in the coming weeks we will get up again.

As always informative and enlightening but with the hope of better things to come. Perhaps in 12 months time we will reflect on how very lucky we all are and remember those we have lost with gratitude L
Thank you Steve, just what I needed to read today. We all at times forget how lucky we are and what we have and take for granted.
