Swapped out 11.30pm for a 9.00pm this year and doubled our Christmas Night Communion in Wilsford village church from 30 to 60! (And looking forward to not feeling shattered tomorrow). This is a 10 year old rum bought by MOH on at the distillery one of her trips to Grenada this year. #clergymaltclub
