Snowy Christmas

So here's a brief hello from the frozen North of England. I'm typing this one-handed because Bonny has claimed my right hand as her exclusive property...

She is uttery adorable, but very tiny. She's not going to get much bigger either. There *will* be pics!!!

Anyhow, today's carol is one you will all have heard, but I've been searching for this particular arrangement for weeks. The discordant chanting underneath is wonderful, but it's the descant that is a true marvel. Here is the London Cantata Singers with "I Saw Three Ships".

(unfortunately embedding is disabled with this one, and there's no visual.)

I Saw Three Ships

What a delightful version of "I Saw Three Ships"! Thanks for sharing this - I love it. *immediately saves to YouTube playlist*

I'm terribly keen to see your photos of Bonny (eventually). Don't forget to include one of her nomming your right hand ♥

Am going to listen to all of your carols over Xmas :)

Happy belated birthday to C and happy early birthday to you! x

I don't know who Bonny is - a ground squirrel?
But I know what you're talking about, my Felix loves to claim my whole right arm too...

Anyway. It's a beautiful song and it reminds me to go searching for my John Dowland CD(not Sting!). And then I'll check your other carols.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Obviously a very smart dog. :D

It's a beautiful version of that song, thanks for posting it.
