Home early today to make sure that I was back in time to go with Nicky and Jake to Jake's school carol service at Rochester Cathedral.
The service was great - the boys doing the readings were excellent, singing along with some carols is always a joy, and it was particularly nice to spot a former school music teacher from a quarter of a century or so ago shuttling between the organ loft and the piano.
They even managed to do a rather good Three Kings - sung by one of the teachers, accompanied by strings rather than by a chorale. A special carol bringing back memories of a cold winter's day nearly fifteen years ago.
