May Morning - Madrigals not mad wriggles floating over the water

Am invited to sing Madrigals from the top of a folly on Folly Bridge. We start at 7am rather than 6am, so keen May morningers can hear the choristers sing from the top of Tom Tower in Magdalen College, then stroll up to Carfax and down the Abingdon road to Folly Bridge. Although I don't get to swim I sing surrounded by water, atop a tower on a little island in the Thames. The early morning mists clears and it is the most beautiful morning. We have breakfast in the delightful restaurant just beneath the bridge, as if floating on the water. One of the singers I meet is a jeweller who makes lovely pieces from sea glass. I collect bits of sea glass when beachcombing, and love the way they reflect water and the sea. I'm captivated by her beautiful collection from beaches all over the world.
