AUTUMN SOCIAL LIFE WITH SHADOWS

Milngavie Music Club's 2025-2026 season has started.  Our first concert was 2 weeks ago with Roderick Williams being the guest artiste along with the Carducci String Quartet.

We are so privileged to have such high calibre musicians!  It was a fabulous 'sold out' concert with everyone departing quite 'uplifted'.  I was struck by his stage presence.  The only other time I have felt such a thing was many years ago when I saw Deborah Kerr in a live production in London's West End.  She entered Stage Left... and you just knew she had arrived... and she hadn't even spoken yet!  I often wonder: is this something you just have, or can it be cultivated?

Last week I was out at Ross Priory on Loch Lomond for a fund-raising event. Arriving early I walked around the garden and made an attempt to take photos where there were shadows.  Here is my selection. 






 The next thing to think about is: what works; what doesn't.
