Cecilia and dried milk.

Seddon tapes recently unearthed, including an emotional exchange with sister Cecilia Foley, speaking from Rome in 1992, in which she explains how she prefers to spend time with “normal people” rather than her only brother. A lengthy and pedantic conversation in which Maurice attempts to order dried milk, and some almost seasonal music from Maurice’s cassette hoard; Viennese music hall from the 1930s and German schmaltz from the 90s.
