The Hallelujah! & Farewell

This morning we're in London, this afternoon we're in California...

Two nights in a row of Laurence! Pinch me.

Last night we went to the debut of our friend Laurence Cummings at the Royal Festival Hall! He conducted The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and English Singers performing Handel's Messiah.

I adore Laurence and to see him conducting in such an historic venue was really exciting. Even though I've heard the music a zillion times it's still beautiful and last night's performance was stunning. Completely gorgeous. Afterward we rushed backstage for hugs and photos. It was the perfect final evening to yet another fabulous stay in London.

This morning we are flying back to California for a couple months. We had an amazing time in London, as always, and will miss our London friends. But we're also excited to return to the new house and to see our California friends. We're expecting to be very relaxed and bored in California, which is the point. I guess I'll be back to blogging sunsets again '-)
