I had no idea I was in need of rest and relaxation so urgently!

I have to clutter your "Friends" pages with pictures again, this time of the Western Necropolis. We have been there a few weeks ago and had a lovely time - well, until it started to rain and we had to hike back because there are virtually no busses on Sundays up there. 

I love Victorian graveyards, even though the death cult of those times can be pretty disconcerting. The sheer size of those headstones! 
Sadly, the Western Necropolis is not in a very good condition. Lots of the stones have fallen over, lots of the statues are badly damaged. And still - a beautiful place. Not quite like the Necropolis next to the Cathedral in town, but still beautiful - in some areas it just looks like the kind of graveyard Buffy would happily go hunting in. Very pretty place.

Famous Crocky!

Once more, my beloved Chapel Choir has had the chance of being broadcast on BBC radio! Yes, that famous our dearest Crocky has become!

So, go ahead and listen to the service here.

I think it will not be on there for long, though.

That choir is really good!! So if you want to hear some native Scots reading and preaching and a REALLY good choir (with an excellent second soprano) singing, click here!!


EDIT: I love the songs, even though they have what Crocky describes as "happy clappy" quality. Sigh. I want my choir back, why didn't they do something in the third trimester as well?
The funny thing is that even though there was no congregation, it sounds as though there was one due to the choir. I have not often heard such fervent "amen"s. I bet they were instructed to sound convinced... 
Ah, yes, they were. Crocky just tells me they were told "not to sound like zombies". I love James.
