Knights and Dames...

...of the Order of St Gregory met at the Church of SS Anselm and Cecilia in London's Holborn for the annual Mass.  Glorious singing from the Schola of the Cardinal Vaughan School. Knights looking rather splendid in uniforms with silver trimmings, Dames in green cloaks...rather too warm, but the cloak can be sort of thrown back over one shoulder, which is a lot more comfortable.

Dinner was fun, candlelit, formal toasts, a sense of friendship and camaraderie: Bishop Richard Moth was the guest - he's Bishop of the Forces, spoke well, was amusing and then guided thoughts towards concepts of service and duty...it was a good evening. Afterwards, out into noisy and raucous London, a very warm night, so I walked down to the Strand and across the river to Waterloo...Jamie had been out late too, and as so often happens we met at the local bus stop...and so home together...
