The audience waits |
The C of E has some wonderful buildings but they are seriously underused. Many have just one service a month - and some even less. The buildings are much loved by their communities and especially by their congregations, but keeping them open, in use and in good repair, is a challenge, to say the least.

The concert was wonderful. It was just over an hour and we heard music ranging from Bach's composition of 1732 to one of Eric Whitacre's compositions for his virtual choir during the pandemic. We had four soloists, including a cellist and incredible verve from the conductor and her husband who was also the accompanist. I was seated in a not-very-convenient part of church so my pictures aren't great - sorry about that.
And it was followed by Pimm's and strawberries. Pretty good Sunday afternoon!
How delightful
