Yes it's my 3rd time round with this calendar, but my goodness I get so much joy from Angela Harding, who captures something about the depth of Christmas memories in each window. Have some random samples of the 1st week. Love it!

A full house for #MerbeckeChoir Christmas @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social.who are on their usual excellent form. I am so thrilled that they now have a reliable following, richly deserved. Proud of them (& a bit embarrassed that we grossly underestimated the number of programmes needed!)

Last night I had an adventure, heading off to preach at Deanery service in Kenley.I did get rather lost walking from the station (country lane, no lights, no signal) but had a lovely time on arrival
Also loved the on screen typo "Hail thee as our MATHLESS King".
Knew God was on my side there 😀

Very very conscious of the blessings of home, family and pets as I turn in tonight, knowing that friends are bedding down in the churchyard @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social to raise money for #RobesHomelessProject, while across our city street homeless do this EVERY night.

Oh my days! Utterly shredded by Britten's War Requiem in a packed @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social tonight. It hits me more powerfully each time I hear it. Outstanding performance from the Outcry Ensemble & a night to cling to my Coventry Cross of Nails too.

Autumn continues to delight ...I'm loving its sheer staying power, the colours transforming a grey morning to remind me that there's beauty in all seasons, in nature and in life.

Though we heard plenty, we only saw a couple of rockets on our walk last night, but who cares when the moon looks like this?

Home from an excellent tour with @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social Girl Choristers & Clerks. Amsterdam, Haarlem & s'Hertzogenbosch were very welcoming, the girls sang well & new choir friendships really flourished.

Lovely to be with St Luke's Kew to celebrate their Patronal, then home to celebrate 5 new girl choristers for our choir @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social

Looked out of the front door last night to see this guy exhuming something extremely dead & disgusting from the flower bed. Thankfully it was gone by this morning. I'm fond of the #WestSquareFoxes but sometimes they remind me why others give them such a bad press!

My friends are officially awesome. Things are a wee bit tricky for me this week so one of them jumped on a train to have spontaneous supper with me this evening and it was delightful.

A pleasure to host the consecration of Bishop Kelly of Basingstoke at @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social this morn. Bishop Sarah presided with grace & kindness so it was lovely to deacon for her & sing the litany.
Wilby's God be in my head made for a very holy moment. Thanks @helensmee.bsky.social
