About this blog

This is a window into the weird world of Anglicanism, as experienced on a Cathedral Close. Has anything much happened since Trollope's Barchester Chronicles? You will still see the 'canon in residence' hurrying across to choral Evensong, robes flapping, as the late bell chimes. But look carefully and you will notice he is checking the football score on his iPhone as he runs. This is also a writer's blog. It charts the agony and ecstasy of the novelist's life. And it's a fighter's blog. It charts the agony and ecstasy of the judo mat. Well, the agony, anyway.

Freddie's Back...

Yes, it's the week of the tenor lay clerk interviews in Lindchester cathedral, and Freddie May is back in town.  Find out what happens here: http://unseenthingsabove.blogspot.co.uk/

 I don't tell you what he decides to sign as his audition piece, but I reckon it was this, from Il Trovatore,  sung here by the divine Jonas Kaufmann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBd87H8TGTk

Enjoy!
