My youngest son’s life as a junior chorister in a choir which is blessed with a very talented, experienced and well-connected choir master has lent plenty of interest to the month. Liverpool’s Anglican cathedral, with its Carol Concert on Wednesday evening, was a particular highlight.
A “Sister Act”-esque performance of “Hail, Holy Queen” by the choir of the Belvedere Academy and a stirring speech by Margaret Aspinall, Chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group all featured to make the event particularly memorable.
Ferrying said offspring to school, this week, also led to a delightful encounter on the school-run. (Christmas has always been a special time for the ladJ.)
Apparently, the Head Elf’s family has disowned him. It definitely sounds as though Santa will be missing out some very specific chimneys this year then!
Finally, we encountered this beautiful sight not long after landing in the world’s largest pothole/volcanic crater and negotiating the world’s narrowest and most rickety bridge in a people carrier laden with radiators for a swapfest. (Don’t even ask!!)
However you will be celebrating this wonderful Christmastide, I hope and pray that you will enjoy a delightful and joyful time. Amidst the bustle, remember the reason for the season and know that you are loved.
Peace to you.
