Prep

After cooking in the copper kettles, the fudge is transferred to this marble table to cool before being cut into individual slices for sale.

Fudgery

There are one or two members of our choir who, for some reason, seem obsessed about fudge. So several of us marched down to a Cambridge "fudgery" where we were very kindly shown how the rich concoction is made, beginning with how the ingredients are heated in copper kettles.

Not plugging anything here. Just sayin' that Caffés Nero often seemed in just the right places at just the right times.

Chapel Notices

It really was an unexpected privilege to be able to visit the Jesus College Chapel on my own in advance of the choir's engagement for evensong. According to Wikipedia, "When founded in 1496, the college consisted of buildings taken over from the Nunnery of St Mary and St Radegund, which was founded at the beginning of the 12th century. The chapel is the oldest university building in Cambridge still in use and predates the foundation of the college by 350 years; it also predates the university by half a century."
