A surprising number of people turned up to church today given the awful weather. We did threaten to sing 'I'm singing in the rain' as the anthem, but were good and sang our planned offering, 'If ye love me' (Tallis), a capella, instead. This was sung very smoothly, in a laid-back style, as we rehearsed at choir practice, and we tried to sing brightly, despite the weather. We got a few surprised stares from visitors - I hope it was for the right reasons. The children's vestry group were preparing for Ascensiontide and had produced a large cloud covered in cotton wool - perhaps they were to blame for the atrocious weather outside?
One of the younger choristers was presented with her dark blue RSCM award; all of the young choristers had the good sense not to participate in the Ten Tors event this year - it may have been an effort to get out of bed this morning, but the church was a lot drier than facing the elements on a sodden moor.
