The weekend
Borrowed John's ladder and checked the kitchen roof with hose. Put two layers of bitumen on sections but had to delay 3rd coat because of showers. Hoovered and cleared up. Saturday to vespers and Mass and bought cards at St Paul's. On the way home listened to The Creation from the Proms. Mark Padmore was excellent. Sunday we sang Goodall's "The Lord is my shepherd" and at evensong the Shera setting and Bob Chilcott's Irish blessing. I played Arthur Milner's variations and a vesper voluntary by Elgar.The day thou gavest and God that madest earth and heaven. In the morning we sang "From thee all skill and science flow". Handel's opera Partenope from the Proms with the libretto online while finishing loading photos from the holiday in Scotland. I am on Proms discussion board. Liz had been to osteopath and sang at evensong at Bedford Park.
Culloden battlefield
On our last morning we visited Culloden battlefield which the Queen was to visit the following week, dropped Peter at home and headed for the airport at Inverness
Dornoch cathedral
The subject of this window is "Praise". It is in memory of Stuart Anderson organist of the cathedral until 2001. The figure reaches up to the stars - hands that flung stars into space (Graham Kendrick The servant king) and below we see singers singing "The day thou gavest".
