Last day in Glasgow

My dear Friends

I spent my last in Glasgow with my friend Kelda. We go back nearly 30 years and we met singing in a choir together-it was called The Good Shepherd Chorus and the conductor was Robert Burns! I went to Kelda's lovely flat not far from the Hostel and after some refreshments she gave me a much needed singing lesson. As well being a singing teacher she is a viola player.She said that my voice was in good shape and took me up to a high Ab! She described the technique of singing in some detail, and how to have a natural loose sound.

After the lesson we went to a lovely cafe for a proper meal and a lovely chat and I invited her down to Cambridge. She said she would like to see the Hostel so she walked me back and I gave her a guided tour; she could see how much hostels have changed over the years.

I met two lovely people during my stay there: one man was a professional clown in New York and a juggler also and there was a Frenchwoman of Tunisian background who was the head teacher of a school for deprived children in Paris.

I left Glasgow on Saturday morning with a really good feeling.
