ASAKA QUARTET

from the Royal Academy of Music

This photo is misleading:  it makes these young people look very nice, but very formal.  In fact these are passionate musicians with a great youthful sense of humor.  We were so happy to have been able to host them!

7 May 2023, Saint Bartholomew's Coronation Lunch

The whole team at Saint Bartholomew's pulled together to serve a lovely Coronation lunch. 

Beverly Gill managed the project with the help of Val, Geoff and Hilary

and the cooks included Colin Ashton for a lovely Coronation quiche and tray bakes,

Tony and Tricia for Coronation Chicken and Trifle. Drinks and site management

by the Church wardens, aka the Davids, and contributions of one kind or another from just about everyone else!

We had expected rain and wind, but the weather was nice, if cool.  36 people reserved for lunch  inside, but we found spots for five more in the garden.  Bless the food and there's room for everyone!

The Coronation of King Charles III

The Coronation of King Charles III was a historic moment in the life of the British Nation and also in the lives of people like you and me.  Many little children standing on the shoulders of parents and grandparents will remember all their lives watching the gilded carriage, the flags, the beautiful princes and princesses, the magnificent steeds and the fabulous uniforms and they will remember how their ears were filled with roaring crowds and the music of pomp and circumstance.  Some of us older folk will think of Shakespeare a little differently from now on, having witnessed in the Cathedral the trivial and the high drama of royal families, but which play will we be wanting to re-read first?

Christmas 2022

We had a merry and musical Christmas this year, which we celebrated, like a French wedding, over three days.

Vide Grenier

Every autumn, we hold a Jumble Sale, or 'Vide Grenier'.  In 2022, we

sold a particularly lovely variety of things from our attics, including books, videos, a bit of linen and fine china ... not to mention original paintings by local artists.  See you next November?
