The Coming of Christmas

This was the theme of a candlelit evening of Christmas music and readings which I attended at Dorchester Abbey on Wednesday night. It was an excellent event with the choir of Magdalen College, Oxford and readings by Juliet Stevenson CBE and Michael Pennington. David Hyde was the conductor. The evening was in aid of the Home Farm Trust (Hft) which supports people with learning difficulties. You can view their website here.

The Abbey was a beautiful setting for Christmas carols and readings and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Christmas seems to be coming faster than ever this year and will be upon us so soon especially with it falling at the weekend. The parish council is holding its Christmas carol service round the tree at 7pm next Tuesday evening 21st December. I hope to join many residents there too.
