There was a Gloria Samba danced by seven ‘angel’ Sisters on slightly raised platforms, accompanied with shifting golden lights. Its theme was the peace that the world so desperately needs, and which can only be realised when first we give glory to God and found our lives on the precepts of the gospel of Christ. Later that month most of us were laid low by the nastiest bout of ‘flu in years, but regained our feet and voices in time for the Advent carol service. Since our row of sycamore trees was cut down, we have had a superb view from its windows, and so had a ‘grandstand’ panorama of all the fireworks within eight miles or so as the crow flies, in the direction of the Cheshire hills. In the evening we also had collation there. It seems almost no time since last year, when we spent 5th November working together in an upstairs art-room collating our annual ‘Tidings’ and getting it to the post. The popping of fireworks in the evenings heralds the approach of Bonfire Night. Loving greetings to all our friends, near and far as 2004 enters on its last lap.
