All my bags are packed...

Dear Reader

 Today is the day. 

 We had a beautiful Christmas, where we were able to celebrate the coming of the Christ Child and remember those affected by bushfires and other losses.


Now I am about to have some family time before heading off to the airport. What is done is done. What is not done will just have to wait until I get home. 

 My suitcase is in another room, but here are the ones with Choir robes and music.

I will be trying to post daily, but please forgive if I get too tired.

Intrepid Blogging

Dear Reader I have ventured out of the Premier Inn and into the heart of Coventry. A quick purchase of a black jumper at Marks and Spencer (a habit of mine when in the UK) and a bath bomb from Lush for later tonight, along with lots of walking on my own led me here to the Golden Cross, a beautiful old pub which specialises in catering for coeliacs. Everything on the menu is suitable. It was the outside that drew me in. While I was hoping for a wood fire I have had to settle for an armchair next to the heater. I’m imbibing of a wine which has travelled further than me, from New Zealand, and waiting for my plum and apple oat crumble, also gluten free.  Which just arrived. You see, Dear Reader, we have been fed so well that I thought today I would follow up breakfast with dinner. However, coming in here for a libation meant I read their menu, and the crumble spoke to me. Very loudly. In about an hour the Lay Clerks will gather at the liturgical West Door (like us...

Michael’s Joy

From Michael Gnanapragasam “In 1988, my late grandfather, Rt. Rev. Jabez Gnanapragasam (12th Bishop of the Diocese of Colombo, Anglican Church of Ceylon), came to Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the primate of the whole Anglican communion, to attend the Lambeth Conference. 31 years later, in 2019, his grandson sang evensong in the very same cathedral with the choir of St. Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide. In a few days, his son (my father) and his other grandson (my brother) will also have been in this magnificent cathedral. Thank you, Appappah for the legacy you left behind. “To God all praise and glory!” Here is Michael with his father Thayalan, his mother Shanti and brother, Jonathan after our last Evensong in Canterbury. All of us are thrilled for you, Michael, as you share your joy in singing God’s praises in English Cathedrals, and continuing your family’s service to the Church.  It is great to have your family with us for our time in London.  Cxx
