2025 from a political and global perspective was pretty wtf on so many levels.
Despite all of that, I have had a year with many good things to be grateful for. In particular, I have pet so many dogs. I hope 2026 brings me more dogs to pet.

I'm very excited to be spending next week in Chichester participating in the Girton Conducting Course! There's some great repertoire on the menu, including Brahms 4 and Copland's Appalachian Spring (chamber version).

On Tuesday July 1st I have two pieces being performed by the Loveday Singers, 'In Flanders Fields' and 'The Key To Change'. If you are around Woking or can get there easily I thoroughly recommend you check out the concert, they are a superb choir!

I'm singing in this, it's going to be amazing. The timing is even civilised enough that you could easily travel to Brighton from a city such as London to come and watch it! (The venue is around 10 mins walk from the Brighton station)

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.
