This is the lovely Laburnum arch in The walled Garden in Royden Park, Merseyside.

I sat in the sun on that bench at the end and listened to THIS on my iPod. This is the Lauda Jerusalem from The Monteverdi Vespers of 1610. Mrs b and I have sung the whole work twice, the last time in the wonderful Chester Cathedral. This section is one of the most beautiful, exciting and difficult 4 minutes of music we've ever sung.
