I like this arrangement.
As far as carols go, this is Mr Bee’s favourite.

The Lad sang the first verse as a solo -many moons ago, as he is almost 53
Anyhoo, it was recorded onna cassette (!) & you can, quite clearly hear his Gran gulping with pride & emotion…

“In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone”
How wonderful are those words? How appropriate forra lad brought up in the middle of Northumberland?

Life moves on, as does music, but with echoes.
Right - that’s enough of me.
Time for bed. Sweet dreams, Cellarites.

Can’t be doing with that Christina Rossetti meself, dear Bee.
Ach, carols: a fine line between those that make one blub and those where strangling the choir becomes one’s overriding priority on what should be one of the most joyful of days…
PS: I am With That Sparrer on the subject of Christmas Music, fires, and it dying in them. Gathering various propellants including lighter fu-u-el.

Having sung them for so many years I was all ‘carolled out’ by Christmas
The Contralto line to ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ is a Bluddy Dirge

Anniversaries can be buggaz. I’m sure you know you’ll always find a sympathetic ear, should you need one.

Also from me, with a misanthropic sisterly shoulder punch (I don’t pack much ovva one, mind you).
Azz the wind precludes a comfortable out-of-doors expedition, we are resolved to do some cooking. So, we have spent the last few hours reading and writing. So much for resolutions, but we may, eventually getta-round-tuit. I have had such a lovely letter from my Goddaughter and have drafted my unworthy reply. She lives in Boston, MA, with her husband and two small kinder. I remember her as a very tiny baby (bag of sugar weight) and marvel at the devotion she shows me, after so many years. And, friendship!

Sounds triffic, Twellies.
I’d settle for just having nails that don’t chip and crack down to the quick, but nobody can give me those for my birthday!
