I was going to the "Business and Shoppers Carols" at the Cathedral at the rather unseasonable time of 5pm Tues (usually this is 1230 the last working day but one before Xmas) but latest developments mean that my good wife is back in a dither of reluctance. 

 

The Cathedral has now produced, very late in the day, Carol services including one on Xmas Eve. Whether we will get to this under present circumstances, or whether it will take place at all, remains to be seen.. 

Just glanced at the Cathedral's Xmas programme. If I want to pay for a "Christmas Concert" I have a choice of three; if I want a carol service, no options present themselves.

 

One of our neighbours, a regular communicant asked the Vicar, who produced a printed newsletter which effectively said "not if we can help it, regardless of popular demand" but assuring her that it was "doing everything it could to keep her safe". Seeing as they are active retirees with a regular round of football matches, day centres, pensioners matinee theatre in Cambridge and a ballroom dancing group in Stamford, safe from what? 

 

Somehow I doubt we will be attending Xmas Carols this year. 

I see there are Carols and Sermons on Xmas Eve, latest update.
