I don't seem to remember Uglich. I left the photography to my friend. I do like to "soak up the atmosphere" of a place and not be too concerned about taking pictures. I think Uglich is the place where we saw a lady in pink singing on a bridge, which fortunately did not have any traffic going over it. She had a receptacle for donations. The only busker we saw in our entire journey. After this or before we went to Yaroslavl. This was an impressive town which is 1007 years old. It had many fine churches, also well laid out gardens. We saw bell ringing out of doors. The musician twisted strings around his fingers connected to the bells and deftly produced a faultless performance. I think it was also here that we heard male singers singing a capella. That was a delight and I bought a CD. I came out of the church where the singing was done and found I could not see anyone from my group but I looked behind me and there was our guide, obviously keeping an eye out for stragglers.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
