I wish I had that ability to pick up musical instruments! I find picking them up quite easy. It's playing them where I struggle. Although I was once the 'herald' in one of our village pantos, and they gave me one of those long post-horns as a prop. Don't think they were expecting me to make a noise with it. Frightened the life out of the 'king'. I was the angel Gabriel 3 times.... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Have we seen this Green Noah yet? I think in the book it was a topiary Noah, very overgrown and needing a trim. |

Anyone (looking at you OSP), know if 'Tolly' has done anything else since COGK? There's a series of 5 books, I think. I discovered a sixth one a few years ago - The Stones of Green Knowe, where Tolly meets Roger d'Aulneaux, the Norman boy whose father is building the original house. I wasn't sure if there was a 6th but you have confirmed it.  Maybe I should have asked if the boy who played 'Tolly' had done any other acting since this. Not whether Lucy B wrote a load of books....... "You're not sulking, I hope?"

If Tolly's parents were around they'd make him wear his cap. At least he has some gloves.

I was one of the heavenly host for a while, then they found that I was good at doing the readings, which got me out of dressing up - for which I was very grateful! |

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. |
