Knew about the best ever April Fool’s joke, but wonderful to see video of the actual news report. Also just listened to evensong – so uplifting. Thanks so much for all the effort involved in relieving the monotony for a short time.
Thanks Corinne! I have to say that the learning curve has been almost as steep as the “other curve” that we’ve all been watching, so it’s lovely to know that the blog is a help. 😊
