Cheesy Daffodils

After a sublime concert of early music at a Creamtealand abbey on Saturday night, I must admit I was not looking forward to the Mothering Sunday Family Service. We had been asked to sing a rather cheesy anthem by John Bell, 'The love of God comes close', which was starting to grow on me but for the ghastly key change for the last verse. Every time we practised it, the organist (or pianist for this particular item) hammed it up something rotten, just to wind us up. Fortunately for his continued state of health, he managed to tone it down for the service to something just above subtle level and consequently nobody puked into their daffodils. Anyway, the simnel cake at coffee time made up for everything :D
