Hammersmith Bridge, Christmas Eve 2018.
To anybody accessing this Blog, Season’s Greetings to you all, and very best wishes for the New Year.
Right now, I am with my sister Mary, and brother in law, John in the church dedicated to St. Magnus the Martyr, London. Earlier today, a rare warmth was ever present during a lengthy walk to The Bishop’s Palace grounds from and back to W6 via the splendid Hammersmith Bridge. Today’s delights were a far cry from the horrendous lunacy ever present on the M1, in diminishing light and pouring rain. But today, all is calm and lovely as the time of the First Communion of Christmas approaches at the sensible hour of 18.00hrs, these days, preferable to me, to a more normal 23.30hrs, reminiscent of the start of a night shift….as I was writing this, the service commenced. Now I am seated in seated in the crypt where a fine meal will be served. The Christmas Supper promises to be every bit as special as the 6pm Midnight Mass. A normally challenging time of year is turning out to be a “best-ever”.
Dinner was magnificent!
