Christmas Eve
It's freezing in Belfast again this morning; so yet another opportunity to light a hearty, roaring fire at home courtesy of Timothy "one match" Belmont! The fire is well lit already.
I think I'll buy some more fuel for the fire today. I'd really prefer logs, though they are more readily available in the country than in the town.
It was customary for me to attend the traditional Christmas Eve carol service at Belfast Cathedral in times past; so I might well consider that this evening. The preacher at the main Christmas Day service in the Cathedral is the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Down and Dromore.
Happy Christmas Timothy!
ReplyDeleteAnd a very merry Christmas to you too, Stephen.

Tim, unrelated to anything, but thought you might enjoy this -http://www.sionmills.org/Default.aspx?tabid=128
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise the Herdmans were quite so interesting (murder, scandal, &c.)
Fascinating article, Anon. I've just scanned it and there is, indeed, much detail.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite lengthy, so I must get back to it!
Thanks,
Tim
