Well, I (and more importantly St. Anne’s)  survived the Christingle service yesterday. The most worrying moment came when there was a distinct aroma of singed hair! £195 was raised for the Children’s Society.

Today, I am travelling back to Westminster for the last week before a the Christmas recess and it is a pretty typical week – Opposition Day, Prime Minister Questions and Backbench Buisiness Day. It looks like there will be a number of ministerial statements throughout the week too. The main business today is all related to the European Union including the remaining stages of the European Union Approvals Bill which authorises the Government agreeing to some pretty minor changes in the EU.
