I enjoyed the Chaminade & was reminded of my mum playing Chanson de l'escarpolette by Grovlez, as her (French) mother had before her. I never knew my grandmother, but her signature is still with us on her copies of Couperin, Chopin, Debussy & Ravel. Might we hear some Grovlez on Breakfast sometime?

Very chic! Good morning!

Morning Hannah and Breakfasters! They were always snickets to me, but my mum always referred to them as ginnels, and my aunt, jennels. Might I suggest the topic of 'teacakes' for next week?!! 😃

Where I grew up in the West Riding we lived in a cul de sac. There was a snicket which was a pathway between two of the houses leading out into another street. A ginnel was a passage between terraced or back to back houses, leading to the back yards!

Me being utterly astonished at the beauty of the work in Zain Rishi’s pamphlet Noon published by The Emma Press. It’s well worth reading.
