Break no. 1 coming up

Right, I'm off to France first thing on Saturday, getting up at 4am or thereabouts to arrive in time for the first bit of culture - Cédric Tiberghien in recital. (He's playing at the Edinburgh International Festival, which'll be a good way to start a conversation.) Then we've got Felicity Lott on Sunday and Private lives on Tuesday.

Back on Wednesday ...
