In a few days I shall be signing off this list until about the end of the month while I embark upon another 4-days' march in the Netherlands (Nijmegen). I'll be striving for 40 km a day (for four days) this time as opposed to the 30 km that is all that is expected of people my age and all I walked last year. Wish me luck. Upon completion of the march, a week from Friday, I shall spend a long weekend in Amsterdam during which time I may take in a concert in the Concertgebouw (Salzburger Kammersolisten playing Mozart, Haydn, Bruckner, and Elgar) or a Koopman Organ recital at the Nieuwe Kerk. Or maybe just rest up after a day's sightseeing and before flying home. Walter Meyer
