I’m sometimes a bit slow on the uptake. Michael Berkeley has been presenting his excellent Private Passions programme on Radio 3 for 30 years. Of the interview format he said recently: “I always loved John Freeman’s Face to Face and wanted to do something similar on radio, which is ideal for allowing people to tell their stories.” But the clincher is that “we would never have someone who is not passionate about classical music”.

We are surrounded by references to the Trinity. There's a Trinity College in Oxford, Dublin, even Cambridge, which also has a Trinity Hall for good measure. Trinity House is in charge of lighthouses. A triplet of Trinity hospitals founded by Henry Howard, the good Earl of Northampton, four centuries ago, thrive as almshouses at Clun, Castle Rising and Greenwich. And tomorrow is Trinity Sunday.

The Gospel of St John is extraordinarily well written. I don’t mean the other Gospels are badly written, but in St John’s we find a beautifully composed work by a single author. The so-called prologue of this Gospel, starting, “In the beginning was the Word,” has been so praised for its sublimity that its meaning is sometimes skated over.

I was surprised by the reaction when I tweeted a detail of a painting from the Siena exhibition at the National Gallery, which I was delighted at last to visit. (Hurry now. It’s on till 22 June.) I had wondered as I looked at the painting from about 1340 of the Mystic Marriage of St Catherine whether the stilted postures of Jesus and the saint (of Alexandria, not Siena) was a good thing. I concluded that it was. Mannerism and naturalism can be overrated.
