C of E priest. Precentor at Southwark Cathedral. Delighted parent & granny. Shy extrovert. Cats, dogs, books, music. Infinitely distractible...
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!)

Christmas hairdo achieved & lots of compliments on the way home. Kennington is _full_ of chatty dog lovers who knows when a girl is looking pleased with herself!

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!

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

I'm loving so many colours about the place right now. The photo in no way captures the vibrancy of the light green variegated ivy but I wanted to share it anyway, as it contrast so with the reds and holds of autumn and the dying year

I definitely need an adulting award today as I've sold Buffy, my wee Fiat 500 as she's just getting used now I'm in London. She was great for me and the dogs to go adventuring in Coventry days, so worth alot in happy memories but rather less in cash.
I know it was the right decision but a bit sad
