I've always loved this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0aL9rKJPr4In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan; Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter Long ago. And Christina Rossetti herself in one of my favourite paintings  |

That's lovely, and it's my favourite, the Holst tune, not the Darke one.

If you want to suggest a date for me merms Just leap in Steve  I've always loved this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0aL9rKJPr4In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan; Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter Long ago. Me too. I´ve loved it since I was a child singing it in Christmas carol concerts at school. It´s so atmospheric and beautifully melancholic. |

Thank you 😊 I can't agree with them, for words of bitter, biting cold, as the Earth beds down for its winter rest, I think it's the perfect tune. Not that there's much bitter biting cold here. Just seen next years crocus coming up! |
