Such a joy, and I see the simple pleasure you derive from watching Michael Aspel introduce Lionel Blair, difficult to believe! Window Swap is always open on my phone... I waited until I had time to enjoy all 6 things, and it has been so worthwhile. Thank you

Wonderful. I’d never seen the viral nativity concert before. Props to her teacher and parents for not inhibiting her and making her sing ‘properly’! Fenton, as you say, is timeless.... can’t go to Richmond Park without chuckling

Fenton sends me every time. Magic.

Excellent as always Lev. The 'airport announcements in the loo' tip initially sounded brilliant but I'm not sure how it works in practice. Do you go straight to the loo and stay there for two hours? I will check out the demographic of loo users at Heathrow when I'm there in a few weeks.

Maybe don't spend too long doing it?

The Tom Lehrer songs are a treasure. The ‘lodger’ introduced me to his songs in the early 60s and I saw him perform them on stage in the West End. I can remember thinking with shock that he didn’t resemble the picture of him that I’d imagined :)

His generous gift has allowed me to relive my youth. It’s astonishing how the songs retain their freshness.

Ah what a treat to have seen him in concert! And yes, they have dated really well.
