torkellAt church today the preacher proclaimed "Happy New Year", which may seem like he's lost track of the date but actually does make some sense - today is the first Sunday of Advent which marks the start of the church's calendar.
After the service a group of us stayed behind to put up the Christmas decorations - on one hand this feels a bit early, but on the other hand Fareham had their Christmas lights switch-on last weekend and that wasn't the earliest one (Saltash switched theirs on on Friday the 18th!). So we put up the tree with tinsel and baubles, set up the nativity, strung lights around the nave, tinselled the lectern... and may or may not have left a tinsel-wearing fake donkey somewhere *whistles innocently*
