True... So is Casa Gould looking and sounding festive, then, thanks to Her Ladyship and Mr P Como?Originally posted by antongould View Post
Presumably Lady G wasn't dressing a real tree this evening - it wouldn't last would it? I always get a real one from the florists' stall on the corner, they have great ones and are worth supporting - but it can't come in more than a week or so before Xmas day if it's to look anything like respectable by New Year...

Sullivan had a go at Henry 8 and The Tempest, but I don't know who Mrs Alexander isComment

Mrs Alexander wrote a large number of hymns, so presumably Sir Arthur wrote the music for one or more of them? A quick glance at her titles and his doesn't immediately suggest a match though!
Edit: there's a hymn called He Is Coming by the two of them. Don't know it though.Comment
