Our garden at the foot of the Malvern Hills
I wonder whether you saw Country File last night on TV? I was tickled to recognise several people I know singing Elgar on the top of the Malvern Hills. They are members of the Three Choirs Festival Contingent from Worcester, and if you’ve read any earlier posts, you may know that I sing with the Hereford Contingent and that this area is very much associated with Edward Elgar. We bought a square piano once from a lady in Malvern. It came with a business card with the name of Elgar’s father on it; he was a piano tuner. Sadly we haven’t managed to have the piano restored yet, but hope to one day.
