Today’s activities included a visit to the INTECH Science Centre, which is a hands-on science centre, which included a visit to the Planetarium. Great fun was had by all.

Thereafter I went back to Winchester where I battled the 3 Shop to get my Dongle fixed (done) and the Post Office, where there was a massive line and then they did not have what I wanted. What did I want that was so obscure? STAMPS! I needed 15 postcard stamps and the bloke said he did not have more than three. It took some convincing to get the bloke to agree that the lady at the next desk could serve me and give me some of the required stamps, rather than insisting that I go back to the line again. So once she was free she sold me some, while the lady next to me went to my man and got what she needed. There seemed to be no coordination of service or supplies. AARGH.
It was almost a relief to get the stamps and get the *heck* out of there to go to Evensong at Winchester. Paid homage to Jane Austen and to the Diver who helped to shore up the East end and stop it from sinking.
This evening we sang in Winchester Cathedral. The menu included the “usual” – Hunt responses and the psalm, this time Psalm 23. In addition we did our last performance of Jackson in G for the tour and the first Chilcott The Shepherd’s Carol. The Chilcott was particularly lovely tonight. The people of Winchester were very welcoming.

Stuart Ekberg and Katie (sorry I don’t remember her other name) came to Evensong tonight and came back to the hotel for a drink. Dinner was a lovely buffet. Funniest dinner table was the one where Jenny Wilson and Nicholas Iles were surrounded by the wee Trebles. Then the littlies left and Jenny and Nick had a quiet cuppa. See photos for evidence.

Tomorrow we have the long trek (3 hours) to Canterbury, then 3 hours back at night, but in between there is time to explore and Evensong.
Love to all.

Love those photos. Glad to see photos of some of the accompanying adults having a good time. Continue to have a good time and sing well at all the strange hours when you sing.
