I saw three ships come sailing in....



This is Sting in 2009 with Kathryn Tickell (and more) playing "I saw three ships coming sailing in" at Durham Cathedral in 2009.

I was lucky enough to spend a marvellous week in Durham this summer brushing up my Latin at the JACT Summer School plus, as a bonus, the weather was fantastic. If you can - I do recommend going to the JACT Classics Summer School - such marvellous fun for young and old. Everybody is very friendly and approachable.

Whilst there I also got to see the magical The Lindisfarne Gospels at the exhibition near to the Cathedral. I vaguely remembered visiting the Cathedral in my childhood and it was great to renew the acquaintance. If you can visit the Cathedral - it is well worth it - it is absolutely stunning. The Lindisfarne Gospels' exhibition was very enjoyable and interesting too.

It has been a good year for us at the Four Wynds' B&B...there's been super, super weather during the main season. Our guests, as ever, have been good fun. I've done some more work with Hands-on-Latin with the teaching and touring and very much look forward to doing more in 2014!

And so.....We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Auguri! Best wishes,

Catherine, Nigel and Family xx xx

    Merci bien, Julie. Je te souhaite "Joyeux Noël et Bonne Annee," J'espere que nous nous voyions l'annee prochaine! Catherine xx

    Very many thanks, Maggie. Wishing you and your family a very wonderful Christmas and peaceful New Year. So sorry I have not been blogging and visiting other people's blogs. There is a huge backstory which I have not been able to blog about (all to do with banks). Maybe one day I will tell all! Hope to visit your blog soon. Take care and best wishes, Catherine xx
