Meanwhile..
Here in the Bearpit we are getting into the spirit of Advent. We had our annual Advent Carol Service this Sunday in the cathedral and although it was v stressful because we worked with some lantern makers from Sheffield and a local school to make these lanterns:
which were only finished just before we started, with no time for rehearsals or anything like that, the whole thing was very moving and the music was excellent.
Now we are getting ready for the various Christmas carol services and singing carols. Last night our samba band (drama students) played at the Light a Light torchlit procession from our local hospice to the cathedral and I went to see them. There was an amazing long procession of hundreds of people with flaming torches and they lit the Christmas tree outside the cathedral, then gave us all mulled wine. I almost managed to get a great picture on my mobile of all the students using their mobiles to take pictures of the tree and the floodlit cathedral but couldn't find the right zip on my magic Rohan jacket fast enough. But I do now have a great picture of the cathedral as my phone wallpaper! Here is another Advent picture instead of us trying to get the lanterns back in the van:

The lanterns are lovely Mary Plain.
Where were they made in Shefffield?
Perhaps the museums and galleries would like to curate them afterwards.
