Happy Birthday, Dean Frank


Dear Reader

I am on a coach, being sent to Coventry.

As it is bumpy and I am prone to motion sickness, I will only write a little text. But I need to do this for two reasons. Firstly to wish Dean Frank a very happy 65th birthday from over here. And secondly to thank two people who allowed us to send greetings from the Choir Tour. 

Peter Borthwick was roped into taking the photograph of our whole Tour Group for two reasons. Number one, he was visiting us at Temple Church. Number two, he is very tall.

Dear Lavinia Gent. I’m also grateful to her for two reasons. Number one, she took the photo I sent her and miraculously produced the attached post card for Dean Frank. Number two, she is my Petrus, my Rock, at home and when I am away. Thanks Doll.

    It was just terrific when Dean Frank opened the card, read aloud the greeting from the choir and friends in the U.K. . It was a lovely party to celebrate the "significant" birthday for the Dean, and a complete surprise to him. His son Stephen, d-i-l Melanie and spouse Christine had gone to great lengths to maintain the secret and the surprise. Baby Teresa was so well behaved. It was a really, really hot night - 42 degrees - and the air conditioning in the CP Hall was put to the test. But well done, Choir, on a terrific photo from Temple Church and such a good greeting. Off to Lady Godiva territory at Coventry. Travel well. Sing angelically. Stuart L.

    Thank you Choir for a great photo and birthday greetings. Yes - I was completely blind-sided and sooo many people in on the deception. I expect the lines outside the confessional to be long.....
    Enjoy the last few days - how quickly time has passed. All too soon we will be gathering at Adelaide airport again.

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. I was grateful for the considered medical advice provided by Dr Ritesh, father of one of the trebles, who also updated my supply of paracetamol and ibuprofen.  So I am relying on others for the report about this special day.  The good bits started with four of the young Lay Clerks heading to St Paul’s for singing lessons with my friend Patrick Craig, who is an Alto Lay Vicar at St Paul. In have yet to hear from Nicholas, Marco, Charlie or James, but Patrick was very complimentary about their singing. This is w...

No phones in the Choir Stalls, but…

  Dear Reader Mobile phone use in the Choir Stalls is generally frowned upon. But in Salisbury they have landlines.  Thanks to Annabel Crompton for capturing this image. Cxx

The big day in York

  Dear Reader We are currently on the road to London via Windsor Castle. So I have time for an update about our big day yesterday. It was such a big day that I had my best night’s sleep last night, so was not awake to do my usual 5am blog post. This, Dear Reader, explains the concept of a Big Day for us. We are accustomed to singing two services on a Sunday, starting at 9:15am and finishing at 7:15pm. But we get a break for over 4 hours in between. Yesterday we started with a warm up and rehearsal at around 8:45am, then two services essentially back to back. We don’t sing Matins, apart from one attempt after a previous tour. Perhaps we could do a quarterly Matins, Ant?? Once a term? The choristers and Lay Clerks then get a two hour break before the next rehearsal at 2:30 for the 4pm Evensong. Matins has no sermon but both the Eucharists and Evensong in York had sermons, which were excellent. The observation for Epiphany that we, the Choir, were travellers from the East was notable....
