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".

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!

Merry Christmas to you too!
