Tonight BBC Radio 2 at eight o’clock we will have the opportunity to listen to the BBC Orchestra’s tribute to William Shakespeare.

I was fortunate enough to go to the live show – a really brilliant and eclectic musical evening. Songs from great musicals and jazz favourites are just a few treats in store.

After a rather emotive week of sharing with some special friends who face great challenges beyond comprehension one realises life is good and oh so precious.

To lose oneself in music is ‘simply the best’ and..to a special friend ‘we have nothing to be guilty of…’

Finishing the week on a positive optimistic note, and, to quote the great wordsmith

‘We know who we are..but not what we may be.’
