    But, but… this Sunday is in no way ordinary time! It is still in Easter!

      You are right, Tom. It is just an ordinary special Sunday…

    Wall to wall gorgeousness from the choir – music to my ears! (Perhaps a video one day)?

    I guess the Ascension was celebrated on Ascension Day? Very right and proper; but for those places that can’t achieve a Thursday evening crowd, yesterday would have been a high festival too!

      I’ve never been in a church that didn’t keep Ascension on Ascension Day and I’m wondering why there are churches that don’t.

      Is it that the people stopped coming because it wasn’t done well or because they are too lazy to turn out or is there some other reason?

      There is a curious habit in this diocese of having joint regional services on Ascension Day in some of our regions. This has never made me think any better of our regional system.

  • There is a man up my tree

    The "trim the enormous beech tree" project is underway even as I write. I do wish that whoever has planted that tree had planted something a good deal more demure and petite. We have lots and lots of leaves. Next door has lots and lots of of bird dung. Hopefully this will help. Perhaps thinning…

    This documentary on Channel 4 is very wearisome. Too many pantomime characters. Too much like real life.
