What a lovely session in The Royal on Sunday: shared a room with some of the Shellbacks and a "duck" or two, all in fine voice, overlooking the sunlit countryside on a perfect winters day.

Hail, smiling morn, smiling morn
That tips the hills with gold..........

All the green fields that nature doth unfold
All the green fields that nature doth unfold
At whose bright presence,Darkness flies away.........
