Snow at Christmas - if only! It doesn't count if it comes afterwards.

Even if it isn't THE house, it's a splendid place.

I remember the Coventry carol in the book - we could have done with a little more of it here, I think. I always find it a slightly spooky carol because of this. |

Why didn't they take the torch when they walked to the church? Had he used all the batteries?

A very well-to-do parish in the seventeenth century - a lot of very fine gowns on those women. |

I didn't think God rest ye merry gentlemen was so old a carol Apparently dates from 1650. Is that old enough for you? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I didn't think God rest ye merry gentlemen was so old a carol I think that's in their church. But, says Wikipedia, an early version is found in a Bodleian manuscript of the 1650s. |

The tune of Ding Dong Merrily is medieval, I think. |

It's a pity there aren't any more. There's a film of the second book, with Maggie Smith as the granny I think - I'm sure I've seen it on TV - but I don't think there are any more series. |

THere's a film with Patricia Routledge available. Do you want to watch it next week? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's really about the atmosphere, and the growing friendship with the children - I liked the ending, where they are all coming and listening to the story too. |
