Bath Abbey is about 150 yards from where we are staying, so it was a short walk to attend the Evensong service there. The liturgy was moving and beautiful, with extensive music on the grand organ and by the men-and-girl choir--I don't think I have heard that combination before.In the midst of the service I was struck with the appropriateness for the sabbatical: Last Sunday it was High Mass in Latin; today it was high Church of England; a week from today worship will be in Babworth, where the Pilgrim Separatist foment really kicked into gear. This sequence of services is following English history rather nicely.
A walk to Jamie's Italian for tomatoes and mozzarella then another for some excellent pizza, and an end to the day by the fire in our room watching the Red Sox. (Yes, the fire feels good.)
