I have a voice again - hooray! Are we the only church which sings the Venite in the Eucharist? Brings back fond memories of Mattins. The anthem today was 'Ave Verum' by Mozart - I had to keep my hand clamped over my mouth to avoid singing it last night when I went to a choral music concert, but today I had permission to sing :)

The cream tea walk in the afternoon turned into a Cream Tea Takeaway as the walk was cancelled due to bad weather. Why let a little downpour spoil your fun? 5 of us decided to rebel and walk and scoff yummy scones anyway.

Off to the Roman Catholic Church for the Christian Aid service - all the hymns were sung to accordian accompaniment, which sounded quite surreal, and reminded me of the Caption competition a few months ago. I have never sung 'Majesty, worship his Majesty' as a slow dirge before. If Graham Kendrick were dead, he would turn in his grave. ;)
