[Magdalen] Bishop Cook: Another unfortunate piece of the story

[Marion Thompson]

As it happens, we baptised our organist this last Sunday.  And 
celebratory sherry was there for those who enjoy it (donated by one of 
our stalwarts) and, as always, the usual coffee, tea, etc. -- something 
for everyone, including the decorated slab cake and stuff.  One of our 
talented newer members had made two baskets full of shortbread crosses, 
iced in white with pale blue detail, each in a clear bag with a label 
marking the occasion and closed with frilly tie ribbon.  I remarked it 
was like the candied almonds at Italian weddings.  A lovely idea.

A very festive occasion!
