As indicated previously, I decided to limp along to Evensong @ Old St Paul's tonight. I'll be candid and confess that I have always found it a gloomy interior, personally preferring the light and space of St Michael' and All Saint's or indeed even St John's Princes Street. But it is ideal and perfect for candlelit Evensong and Benediction on a winter's evening. Especially when the lights are minimal and all the faithful have a taper to lighten their darkness and follow the service order with. The choir were excellent, the Psalms to Anglican chant (which I prefer to that Widow Twankey music called Gregorian chant!). And a proper use of silence, with no home made intercessions. Sublime! And my hip ached not too much. Then home to veggie enchiladas. Yum!
