The Year’s dying days – I’m looking at villas for next Summer. I’ve emailed to La Foce, near Pienza.
Otherwise inert.
Here’s a list of Christmas carols that need never be played again:
Oh Little Town of Bethelhem
Away in a Manger
While Shepherd’s Watched
The First Nowell
In the Bleak Mid-Winter (unless to the tune by Holst)
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (when did they sing? I don’t remember this episode in the Bible)
Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Once in Royal David’s City (where is Royal David’s City? I assume Jerusalem because of the King David Hotel. But Jerusalem doesn’t figure in the Christmas story)
