I think this was much the same as last year - obviously too lazy to check. People were new though so there benefit in the familiarity of items to the core so that there could fit in. We don't process - we just have the Solemn Entrance. We actually have an ideal place to begin the procession from - the Chapel in the Woods, which is part of the Walpole architectural legacy and these does just has a few trees around it. However this morning the weather meant that being in doors was preferable - it was cold enough that for once all the main doors were not opened - though it was still cold in the Chapel.

The Communion Antiphon was new - whatever the merits as translation 'chalice' is a very clunky word to sing - I will probably have the same thought on Thursday evening.
