Tired but happy . . .

. . . probably summed up most of us as we made our way home on 21 July after a brilliant week of singing Evensong in Dorset churches. We visited Weymouth, Eype, Fontmell Magna and Wimborne Minster (a glorious final Evensong) and sang our very first service of Vespers to a packed congregation in the Catholic Church of our Lady of Lourdes and St Cecilia in Blandford Forum.

With a terrific team of singers (special thanks to our outstanding young choral scholars), wonderful playing from Sam Hanson, and inspirational direction (as ever!) from Jeremy Jackman, we will be hard pushed to do better next year when we celebrate 30 years of singing Evensong in Dorset churches. The dates are 19–26 July, so keep watching this space.
