A rough timetable for our services, just in case you want to come

Dear Reader

Please find below a list of our singing dates. I will update the exact times when I become more aware of them, as there may be some fluidity. Please check back closer to the dates in question, as I will post updates, rather than editing this post.

The Big One, St Paul’s

Dear Reader Today was the Big Event of tour. St Paul’s Cathedral, London. If you are observant, you will notice my absence from the photo above, along with several of my colleagues. Sadly, this happened. After nearly four years and six vaccinations I finally succumbed to the dreaded Covid. At the worst possible time. My multiple vax status has meant I only feel a bit rotten, like a cold, but I do feel sad to have missed the day. And to miss Windsor tomorrow.

Dear Reader, Please remember us in your thoughts and/or your prayers (whatever works for you) as we prepare for this big adventure. Off we go. Christine 💖

Safe and well in England, but…

Dear Reader Humble apologies from Gloucester, but I/we are out of words. It has been more than 48 hours since we last saw a bed. I will provide a proper post tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a picture or two. Cx
