Quick trip back to Tuesday 27th of August!  A jolly group of singers joined James for a service at Oak Lodge.  Beautiful day, gardens looking very lovely and the lounge was well attended by the residents.  Many of whom were looking forward to going back out into the gardens, so good as the weather is perfect.

Well, I wonder who spotted the deliberate mistake?  A lone sway!  Which should have been ‘swan’ how funny.  October came to a close with the United Benefice choir being invited to Deane, for All Saints Service on Sunday 29th.   Lovely. November 5th All Souls service took place in St Nicholas’ church, here in Steventon at … Read more

Great to be back into the swing of things starting with Tuesday 2nd and singing in the village hall.  Voices could be heard also on the 12th as we all joyously sang those we knew, plus a few we did not.  This always keeps us on our toes adding to the enjoyment, also, I believe … Read more
