Singing Carols by Candlelight

We had a lovely time yesterday at the candlelit St Mary Magdalene, Caldecote. We sang carols, with harmonium accompaniment, while nibbling mince pies and quaffing mulled wine.

The church was beautifully decorated by LALG's very own Flower Arranging Group. The photos show one of the window sills and the show-stopping arrangement on the font.

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (Neasden Hindu Temple)

A glimpse of India on our doorstep with the Temple's intricate marble carvings, colourful statues and carpets.

We enjoyed an enlightening exhibition on the contribution of ancient Indian achievements to our understanding of the world:

In mathematics: the discovery of Zero, use of the decimal point system, invention of geometry, value of pi and 'Pythagoras' theorem'.

Discoveries In Astronomy and Physics predating Copernicus and Newton. Skills and techniques in plastic surgery, some still used today.
