Mental health

We both went to St Mildred Addiscombe for interesting day on mental health and the church. Tom Winpenny played stunningly at Bloomsbury Baptist. His JSB Fantasia and fuge in G minor was brilliant and so musical. The Judith Bingham intriguing and Wesley well played. Nice to meet Anthony Phillips on the bus! Lots of servers at Mass. Fr John told an unusual story about Fr Ignatius Spencer and a seminarian who accidentally shot a lady. Letter came about Dennis.

Epiphany

Played Buxtehude and Gade on How brightly shines for Epiphany. Peregrine sang 3 kings really well. Oscar came and they could not find their cassocks. With the family to Lyric Hammersmith for panto "Dick Whittington" excellent show and hilarious. As it was the last show lots of adlibbing! Sean's new haircut looks great. 20+C+M+B+19
2019 is the year; C,M,B stands for the 3 Magi: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. It also stands for Christus Mansionem Benedicat "May Christ bless this house" The crosses remind us of the cross of Jesus.
Chalk it above your door and use the prayer of blessing.
Visit, we beseech you, O Lord, this home and family, and our loved ones everywhere. Drive far from us the snares of the enemy. May your holy angels dwell with us and guard us in peace, and let your blessing be always upon us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
Les Miserables is fantastic. And welcome back to Antiques roadshow.

Pension

I also rang Frank's other grand-daughter in Leeds. She has no time for him saying that he can rot in hell for the way he treated her lovely grandmother who in fact lived reasonably well in Leeds because of his Australian war pension.
