Boxing Day

Lots of lovely goodies from Bruce Woodhouse including operas and scarf and arty socks. Splendid singing from Croydon Minster at Midnight Mass. Well done all especially Ronnie Krippner and Tom Little! So good to see young people singing so well at Bradford and Croydon. The tradition will continue! How appropriate to have Fr Angel and David Pipe playing the organ. Check out St Joseph's Bradford on BBC I player Christmas Day Mass for some great singing. The Mozart and Rutter are terrific and stunning descant. We'll done everyone! If Leeds diocese can run so many youth choirs why not others? Bravo St George's cathedral Southwark! Bethlehem down very good. Did not like descant for Hark the herald! Lovely to hear John Wilson. I have got 3 operas from Glyndebourne from Bruce to watch!! Also art work socks to wear at the art show! I have got new CD of Magnificat and Nunc dimittis from St John's Cambridge and 3 CDs of musicals from Liz to enjoy! Glad I moved the car from next to the post box as there is a match and it's now raining! I could not park outside the house on Christmas Day. Woke at 6 a.m. and slept to 9.45. Henry had such fun yesterday.
