BRITTEN Frank Bridge Variations MENDELSSOHN Piano Concerto No.1 MENDELSSOHN The Hebrides DEBUSSY La Mer Kees Bakels conductor Ronald Brautigam piano
Mendelssohn's musical postcard of a Hebridean visit conjures up a whole seascape including the grandeur of Fingal's Cave, the swelling of the sea, the light on the water and the fury of the waves breaking on the cliffs. Like the sea itself, the surface of La Mer hints at the brooding mystery of its depths - a vibrating, oscillating, glimmering palette of sound which caresses the senses allowing the orchestra to shimmer in a thousand...

BBC Breakfast News ran a story on Wednesday about Japanese Knotweed and that news that property owners could now be fined if they do not deal with an infestation on their property. We thought you might like some additional facts.
The new Government guidance advises that Council Officers and police will have the power to issue Community Protection Notices for “invasive non-native species”. So it’s not just Japanese Knotweed. It could be giant hogweed or Himalayan balsam for example.
Community Protection Notices (CPN) are more usually in the news with regard to anti-social...
