@philipnareike do you read much or have you done in the past? Only I'm thinking of having a Graham Greene week the week after next as it'll be the 110th anniversary of his birth and I remember you saying that you lived just up the road from where he was born. Loads of his books were made into films and I've been checking this morning and there's a wealth of music out there which could be used. What do you think? Would you be game?
@MadameZia Oh, I'll have to think about that one! Interesting....yes he was born in Berkhamstead....I just found that Berko is also famous for giving us Sarah Brightman!!! ....and Esther Rantzen!!!

Always nice to see the Reverend Richard Coles in his earlier incarnation.

@DavidShepherd he switched on the Christmas lights at the small market town where I grew up a couple of years ago - so I'm told

@MadameZia Was that Thrapston? Anyway he seems happy to have restored his organ http://www.stmarysfinedon.co.uk/
MadameZia
@DavidShepherd it was! I didn't realise his church was in Finedon - I bet he's chuffed to bits about his organ...

@MadameZia I shall think of you and Christmas lights and the good Reverend the next time I whizz by on the A41 on Christmas Eve.
MadameZia
@DavidShepherd bizarre combo but thank you :)

MadameZia
@DavidShepherd well the A41 runs past Berkhamsted which was actually what I thought you were referring to as per previous comments above - never mind
