Peterloo

Coffee concert at St John's by the fine Royal British legion band. Mike Leigh's Peterloo is a fine film. Lots of speeches set up the final appalling massacre. Most poignant line the woman shouting at the soldier about to kill her "I know you". A shocking indictment and a lesson for us all to preserve our hard-won liberties. 12 at Mass - I had to tell one boy off for waving on the sanctuary! Engaged couples. Watched Lucy Worsley on suffragettes. 

Music Sunday

Music Sunday and great to have Elaine back. Jerry pulled all the stops out and there was a retiring collection. Mentioned by name in the prayers! We sang When in our music God is glorified and Nardone setting. Played Slater on St Botolph and Lang Tuba tune. Oscar from Worth Abbey school will join us to sing bass! Pets service lots of barking dogs. Played All creatures great and small and The Swan and Handel Cuckoo and Nightingale. Surprised to see Dennis with Henry and Molly and he gave me a lift home. Hot. Ar evensong we sang Anthony Caesar's O love divine. Enjoyed counntryfile on royal estates and Poldark. Very impressive women's marches and Antiques roadshow on women.
