Announcement re Live Streams

Dear Reader

For the brave or insomniac, our first service tonight will be live streamed from Worcester Cathedral. 

At 4:00am Adelaide time, 4:30am for my Auntie Helen in Newcastle



Can anyone spot the First Octopus at the Nativity?



I will post more information about our journey so far when I have some time on the Coach, or perhaps this evening.

Thanks to those of you who have been kind enough to comment. Unfortunately these come up as Anonymous (that most famous of composers). I would be pleased if you would put your name at the end so we know who is thinking about us.

    So magical to be singing in these beautiful cathedrals. Hope you've recovered from your jet lag. Sue A

    Very fond memories of Worcester, the Cathedral and the Lickey Hills, only a bus ride from Rubery near Birmingham where we started married life nearly 50 years ago. Particularly I recall the amazing stonework that seemed to support the cloisters. AnnHunt

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 what he said: Such a

And now the deadline is hours away...

Dear Reader! What an amazing fortnight we have had! We have rehearsed every Saturday as well as Friday. And sung on Sundays.  We travelled to Victor Harbour to sing to a capacity congregation for Lessons and Carols. Yamba had a ball.  We have done our Christmas Rounds - Lessons and Carols, Midnight Mass and Christmas Day. Precious Lillian was privileged (and rather nervous) to bring the sweet Baby Jesus into the Cathedral at Midnight Mass. She performed her duties beautifully. Zoom in to the second picture and you can see just how wonderful she was.  And now there are bags of robes and music in my front room, ready for the 6:45am departure.  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 💖
