More Advent

[frandowdsofa]

We were in Wales again last weekend, so I took the opportunity to wander off to church on Sunday morning, for the 1st Sunday in Advent. I love this part of advent, where everything is still so nebulous. The specific bits of the story have yet to kick off, there's just this general air of expectation but you're not sure what for. There's a yearning

Yes.

I've been thinking of starting to go to church sometimes at the Anglican church at the end of my road for reasons exactly like that. Haven't got round to it yet, mind you. And I do have more work to do to get over my feeling that not believing in God is a good reason not to go to church :-)

We often think John would have made a splendid Georgian country vicar, striding around collecting insects and shouting at people. The being-an-atheist bit didn't seem to be a problem.

That does sound lovely.

Gorgeous, gorgeous!

I have some music by Ensemble Unicorn, specialising in medieval music. Their harper, Riccardo Delfino, is my favourite harper (I was a bit harp-obsessed for a while, and of course it was all about the medieval harp).

I've heard people say similar things about Bach, the mathematical link. I don't know his stuff very well, apart from singing some in various choirs over the years.

The church sounds lovely
