#TodaysWalk was damp, windy and miserable, so I went to a museum and found that Bryozoa ("moss animals") exist.
I took no pictures, so here's one from an earlier stroll which took me past Arnold Bax's birthplace in Streatham.
Wikipedia says his family was 'prosperous', but Streatham mostly isn't and, back then, wouldn't even have had a view of the Crystal Palace transmitter tower.
If it had been, perhaps we'd now be listening to "Tooting" instead of "Tintagel".

@HouseOfSchnuck #britishcomposers absolutely #arnoldbax such a talented but underappreciated composer. My favourite has to be his 3rd symphony
#NowListening; #ArnoldBax violin sonatas. I am ashamed to say I’ve never heard these pieces before, but am now wondering why - love at first listen indeed. Thank you to the kind person on here who recommended them to me (and apologies for not remembering who it was to tag you!)

@kentalbot Absolutely interested! I am always at a loss to explain their lack of penetration into the consciousness here in the US. Was listening to #MalcolmArnold just this morning, and always rotating through most of the others you named (plus #ArnoldBax #GranvilleBantock and more). Thankful to #Chandos #Naxos #Hyperion and #Argo for providing so many recordings to enjoy.
