My first time seeing La Bohème - such beautiful dialogue and music - ‘we love light-heartedly’. And extra special when performed by the Ukrainian National Opera, who ended the evening with their national anthem 💙💛

My regular reminder to change back into distance specs *before* trying to get off the train. Makes it easier to see the door and that gap …

A very confident pheasant strolled right past my favourite bench at RHS Harlow Carr. Maybe he was looking for a partridge in a pear tree?
