Christmas anticipation

Carol services come thick and fast as the festive season draws near. Teign Choral Society held their annual Carol concert at St. James' Church in aid of the Teignmouth League of Friends. I sing with this group and a very useful sum is raised for the League boosted by a bumper raffle. At the end of all that singing the glass of mulled wine tastes really good. I attended Trinity School's end of term Carol Service, and the Teignmouth Masonic Lodge Carol service among many others. All benefit local charities in one way or another.


Lord and Lady Clifford of Ugbrook House, Chudleigh generously open up their lovely home for the annual Christmas Evening in aid of Hospicecare, Exeter. Over 100 guests were greeted by our hosts personally and we all enjoyed wonderful hospitality with entertainment by Exe Vox Chamber Choir. This evening is a real Christmas treat and raises a substantial sum from generous sponsorship for the charity.
