I managed to totally forget to mention that my littlest sister is engaged! Danny-dan-dan and Haig face are getting married June next year. Very pleased about the whole thing really! Aren’t they just a bit cute (photo by Lucy).

This morning I spoke at Ranges. Now and then somehow who’s been there a while gets to ‘tell their story’. It was my turn.
Tim recorded it for Amanda who couldn’t come. Perhaps I’ll ask him to shoot it my way and if it’s not too embarrassing I might share. Maybe.
You haven’t got *good Christmas music if you don’t own Songs for Christmas – Sufjan Stevens. I particularly like how little credit he gives to Jingle Bells. It’s a super cd. Peace: Songs for Christmas, Vol. V (recorded June 2006) is my favourite of the five volumes. It has the the three best songs: Holy, Holy, Holy | Sister Winter | Star of Wonder.
*(If you have Handels Messiah you might be doing alright but you should vary it up with some Sufjan goodness anyway)
Today’s illustrations are by Arthur Rackham, very well known for his fairytale drawings – which although beautiful don’t really float my boat. However I love the use of limited colour in these silhouettes. These are from… Cinderella as told by C.S Evans.
