Decoration

Some places make the effort to be festive, some can't be bothered - judging by this decoration, Great Malvern falls into the latter category.

Fortunately Nature itself can provides the right touch. Even on a dull overcast day, this petal floating in a bird bath at St Peter's, Bengeworth can add more than a touch of the Saturnalian spirit.

If you're out hedging your bets this evening around midnight, enjoy the Mass. If you're not, curl up with a good book by Richard Dawkins.
