A long long time ago

when I used to go to church

and I used to sing

I went to

St George's Chapel

in Windsor Castle

most Sundays

it was just me and my friend

whose father was the

Queen's Pipe Major

(he's the man who plays the bagpipes for the Queen)

Anyway...

as I said

 mostly it was just my friend and me
and the

"Choir of St. George's"

a choir very much like the one in the video

voices of angels

inside

little boys

who once they had sung

turned into,

well,

little boys!!!!

This song was my favourite one to sing with them

she and I
in the chapel

in a castle

that has parts of it that have stood for a thousand years

I no longer go to church

nor do I sing

but when I heard this song

on

the Dr. Who Christmas Special

(of all things!!! :) )

I found great big wet tears rolling down my face

I had forgotten...

the hubs didn't understand of course

plus I couldn't explain why the tears where there

I tried to find the sound I remember

and this one comes the closest

so I hope you will indulge this little

weepy trip down memory lane and listen to it again with me

on this last day

of the first decade

of the

21st Century

you can see it here

when I load videos it messes things up so I have left you a link )

the reason for the season is
 in fact
the bleak mid winter
when the light starts to come back
on the solstice
we needed a light to get us through
....
so they gave us one.
