Such a pretty piece and so well played by you both!!
And I presume that the young lady turning your pages is your daughter? as she bears more than a passing resemblance to you..
Alas I was unable to see your concert at Chichester some days ago as we've been too bust at work and couldn't take the afternoon off.
Im sure it was great though.
