Quintessential evening

Several months ago, I was asked by Mary C. to do some tickets for an event in aid of the Hull Freedom Trail. I put the event in my diary but steered the printing in the direction of Jonathan who is far better qualified than me and directly involved in the project. Well, last night the event took place and it was very good. Unfortunately only just over 30 people attended. Barbara had become involved on the catering side and had worried about it all week but it all went smoothly.
Quintessential are a quintet of singers, two ladies and three gents. They sang songs from the 1500s to last century, motets, madrigals, part-songs, folk songs and songs from the shows. I thoroughly enjoyed it. They had a smile on their faces all the time (difficult not to with some of the material) and kept us entertained for two hours.
Earlier on, Barbara and I had been discussing Fridays because we do Braves Guild every week and are pretty tired by the time we get home. We decided not to become involved on a Friday evening in future. Easier said than done. I found when I checked our diaries that the next three Fridays we have something on.
Barbara is at a meeting at Church this morning. As soon as we get back, we are going over to stay a couple of nights with PARK. A new beginning as it is just a social visit with no babysitting involved. Looking forward to it.
