Lucy….
Another sign of the time of year is that on the evening of Friday the Second of December the Lucy Service will be held St. Magnus Cathedral - for the first time since 2019.
We won’t be attending the service as being Covid Cautious I still don’t go indoors where there will be a gathering of unknown people, but I thought I’d include links to a couple of previous pieces about the Lucy Service, as it is such a GOOD THING….

I look to when I will feel that I can safely attend the service again.
PS....
Ooops! I got the date wrong - it happened yesterday evening - Saturday the 3rd.
I think I had the Finstown tree lighting in my head, which was Friday.
Sorry!
