Carols by candlelight
Thursday, December 23, 2010 Enjoyed the annual Carols by Candlelight concert at Ely Cathedral last night, even if it was pretty cold inside this magnificent old building. Fortunately, not only were we well wrapped up, we were able to buy mulled wine at the interval and in the second half they handed out candles which we lit and used to keep warm!

Hope you paid a visit to Oliver Cromwell's house, too, Simon: even HE got fed up with the bloody Puritans. Eventually. But at least the freedom-loving Englishmen of his day had the Restoration to look forward to. We don't even have that - and David Cameron is plainly as much a new Charles II as Deborah Arnott's a latter-day Moll Flanders. Happy, happy us !
Sounds divine in all senses!
What? Smoking candles allowed in the church?
