From Anne-Marie - update

18/3/2021

I hope you are ok and looking forward to spring.  Many thanks, Helen, for forwarding Ron's message and lovely photos.  
I'm fine (touch wood).  My Cathedral job has come to an end (so I'm free on Saturdays!!) but I'm still doing library work and exploring options in archives - also garden volunteering at Ushaw College where I'm enjoying seeing spring gradually come along.

I was reminded of Argus last week when I heard this arrangement of Seal Lullaby with the Kanye Mason family on YouTube - it brought back happy memories:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2on4IS8fIcc

All the best and greetings to all 'Argusians' (not sure if that's the right term!!)

"Like A Rainbow Shining" by Will Todd.
A lovely song by local composer and musician Will Todd. Choirs can access free resources to sing this in the future.
Our Codebreaker Project
Just in case anyone interested - this was released on Sunday when Newcastle Choral Society should have done a Sage concert and we’re releasing another one on VE Day.

Clever message item - better than Govt. one - should it be titled “The hills are alive with the sound of mucus”. ??
