Rabbits are the ‘pest’ of the week with young kits ambling out into the fields and crossing roads, a danger to crops and cautious drivers alike! The weeds were taken care of out in the fields, with kale (it is growing…!!) spring greens and khol rabi all being cared for with a gentle hoe-ing, preferably in good sunshine to stop anything pulled up from re-rooting.

POP-UP OPERA AT DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY
Returning for its third year Dulwich Picture Gallery’s ground-breaking Visual to Vocal programme, in partnership with English Touring Opera, brings people with dementia, their families and carers together over ten weeks to take part in immersive and creative song-writing sessions.
In the most ambitious project to date, participants are writing and composing an opera inspired by the gallery which they will perform to the public in a special pop-up on 23 June.
The project echoes the central theme of this year’s Dementia Awareness week (17 – 23 May), #dosomethingnew, by enabling people in the early to mid-stage of the disease to enjoy valuable new experiences.
This year participants are developing a more dramatic and theatrical production with young people from Dulwich College.
Currently in their sixth week of the project, each member of the group has offered a personal response to the Gallery’s collection and history which has been translated into lyrics, music and theatre.
Carol from Nightingale House care home in South West London said: “it’s an enjoyable, fun experience and so very expressive. I’ve always known how good it is to sing and I always feel so good at the rehearsals.”
Pop-up performance
Tuesday 23rd of June, 3:30 pm.
Open to gallery visitors.
Full performance
Sunday 28th of June, 6:30 pm.
