Off now to Dundee, the flagship diocese of the Scottish Episcopal Church, reeking of heaven, for the installation of Rev'd Roxanne Campbell as the new Provost of St Paul's Cathedral. Not a bad way to spend my own anniversary day.

Can I suggest that we all get a bit seasonal and contemplate the Adoration of the Magi in the Snow by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. It is claimed to be the first depiction of snow in Western Art.

Bought a book in the Oxfam Bookshop in Byers Road this afternoon and got home to find it had a postcard tucked into it with a handwritten message. "Welcome to Hotel Du Vin! We hope you enjoy your stay with us!"

St Stephen's Day walk up my river to hunt the wren. Alas no wrens but heard a lovely song thrush and saw some beautiful long-tailed tits.

Looking for inspiration on which to build my character for the Crib Service this afternoon in which, for the first time, I will play Gabriel, I asked Google for some images of Gabriel. I got this and I don't really understand.
