Gustavson Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:54:40 +0000 http://thelongview.tv/2008/12/22/in-the-bleak-midwinter/#comment-223 Thank you so much for posting this wonderful rendition of Holst's "Bleak Midwinter". I was following a link from Google to "New England Triptych" and landed on your Blog. Could not resist moving on to your Bleak Midwinter post. As a fellow New Englander (and sufferer of the several 'bleak' snowstorms we have had, this season), I am wondering if the Gloucester refered to is in England or New England. If it is New England, I am most impressed! But, given the quality and enthusiasm of the Congregation's contributions to this Video, I would have to wager that it is Gloucester, England. Either way, a fine performance of one of my favorite (and sadly underused) Seasonal Hymns. Thanks again.... Thank you so much for posting this wonderful rendition of Holst’s “Bleak Midwinter”.

Nevertheless, it looks like you've got a nice spread surrounding your new digs - apart from all that icy cold wetness that is. A hot toddy in hand, next to a warm fire is where I'd want to be in your shoes! I hope all is well!

Shoveling on Saturday, however, diminished some of the wonder! The wonder, Kathy, happened while I was inside on Friday watching it fall all day.
