A letter addressed to “The Editor, The Local Paper, Watford” and bearing a Kent postmark, was delivered to the Watford Observer this week. It came from Mrs Bridget Hollman, of Chelsfield Lane, Orpington, and stated simply: “May I congratulate all those taking part in Songs of Praise, June 17 ... The whole programme was most enjoyable and I enjoyed every minute of it.”
