🗞️There is so much to learn, if you are a mentor and a mentee at the same time. This concept inspired me the other night when I attended the Christmas drinks by @wijuk.bsky.social. Its #mentorship program by #AmandaNunn has been a lifesaver for me and I am so happy to be a member

It is a wrap! Listen on BBC Sounds to the episode Bellini which is the 5th of #OperaOnAPlate.
We summoned up our journey through Italy, from Verdi’s Emilia Romagna and Liguria to Puccini’s Tuscany and Rossini’s Marche, all the way to the south for Bellini’s Sicily.

Such an extraordinary duo, on this episode of #OperaOnAPlate dedicated to #Verdi - tonight on BBC Radio 3 and online on BBC Sounds. Such a combination of talents: both conductor Nicolò Foron and chef Francesco Dibenedetto are second to none

Getting ready for #OperaOnAPlate dedicated to Giacomo #Puccini, tonight at 9.45pm on BBC Radio 3 and then on BBC Sounds soon afterwards.
Madama Butterfly, Tosca and La Boheme are among my favourite, I was thrilled to discover more about Puccini's background.

Visiting #LEGOLANDWindsor on the first day of October #HalfTerm with my daughters aged 4 & 6 yo. It is hell. Not only 80mins wait for an attraction at peak times but lots of ongoing works at the parking site - it took forever
