Oh, we do love Andre Rieu!


Again this afternoon Muffy and I settled down to enjoy Andre Rieu in Maastricht.  All his performances are absolutely stunning, with thousands of people enjoying themselves, singing, dancing, crying, laughing.  I really think he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

This time he and his orchestra played a waltz written by Sir Anthony Hopkins, who was in the audience with his latest wife:

I vaguely remember he dumped his previous wife, so I don't think much of him, but have to admit his waltz was lovely.  One really great thing about Andre - he announced proudly last week that he's been married to his wife, Marjorie, for 35 years.  Now, there's a decent man for you!


And yes, Lina, we did get home after the high tea before the appalling weather struck.  So pleased you're going to the ballet - you won't be disappointed.

Heard this morning that another friend died this week, aged 70.
