I resigned from St Michael's but I did sing the solo in In the bleak midwinter and was complimented on it. (Dec 17th lunchtime carols). Jim was an American repetiteur in the chorus and he was a marvellous pianist. He went to Germany. The 1973 diary is fascinating as it is a whirlwind of going to operas, concerts, rehearsals, galleries. 1974 was equally exciting and a month before we married I started at Balham music library as an assistant. At the end of my career I left as the boss! In those days vinyl was big. Alas a lot of nonsense was going on with me banished to the basement so Francis could entertain his many gay Black friends upstairs. There was talk of scams as well. Mr Goring had built his own empire of music libraries all of which eventually shut. The one person I really liked from those days was Gill Mason married to Chris. Jane Allen and Una disliked me and thought me cheeky!
