Two concerts down, three to go...

First of the seasonal offerings was on Saturday 1st December, at the village hall in Mealsgate. A smaller than usual choir (only four of us altos!) and accoustics not as good as they are in the church where we usually sing, but the welcome and the hall were warm, and at supper afterwards, Janet's meringues disappeared like snow off a dyke, as always! Last night's concert at Isel Church was in aid of the Cumbria Wildlife Trust, now celebrating its 50th year. It's a tiny gem of a church, which necessitated careful planning of 'where to stand'. But the accoustics were great, the effect of many lit candles made it wonderfully atmospheric, and the audience joined in the congregational carols with great gusto. Next week, we'll be at St. Philip's in Eaglesfield (Thursday 13th) and of course it's our own regular Christmas date at Christ Church in Sullart Street on Saturday 15th.
