Love the idea of a singing group for people with breathing difficulties. Does that include COPD?

I see the trains still run to Alnmouth ... my father and I had a wonderful holiday there in about 1976 ... boiling hot! The paternal side of the family went to the same schools as the Percys ... Uppingham - the reason we visited, but sadly didn't meet them or see the castle - before it's great redevelopment ... amazing things have happened to it. Love Barter Books - didn't know about it - though Michael Portillo has been there ... I was in Victoria yesterday and went into an 'old' bookshop 'Hooked on Books' that I must write about ... so I'll link then ... <br /><br />... and also the train one - I'll link in ... as I'll be writing about trains 12th May to tie in with another American blogger who is a railway buff ... but anon - get some rest for now .... and well done on the Lung Singing one ... excellent help ... and I'm sure will be so interesting ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
