0:00:02 > 0:00:06It's Advent Sunday, a time of waiting as Christians prepare

0:00:06 > 0:00:09for the coming of Christ and the hope that his birth brings.

0:00:09 > 0:00:14Today on Songs Of Praise, I meet a man who is hoping and waiting.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16For seven years, he's been undergoing dialysis,

0:00:16 > 0:00:21waiting for a kidney transplant that he hopes will transform his life.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25My faith's always been a rock that I can fall back on

0:00:25 > 0:00:29rather than it being a conflict of, "Why am I going through this?"

0:00:29 > 0:00:32As our thoughts turn to gift-giving, we have a remarkable story

0:00:32 > 0:00:35about a man who gave a life-changing gift

0:00:35 > 0:00:39when he became a living organ donor for a relative stranger.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41I just heard a voice that said,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43"You're going to give him your kidney."

0:00:43 > 0:00:46And for me, that voice was the voice of God

0:00:46 > 0:00:48telling me this is going to happen.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Claire McCollum meets the writers

0:00:51 > 0:00:54of one of the most popular modern hymns in the world.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58And this Wednesday is St Andrew's Day,

0:00:58 > 0:01:00so Richard Taylor is in Scotland

0:01:00 > 0:01:02to find out more about their patron saint.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Advent is the time of the year that motivates many musicians

0:01:16 > 0:01:18and we have a real treat for you

0:01:18 > 0:01:21with a brand-new Christmas song by Matt Redman.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25It's also the season for some of our favourite sacred music

0:01:25 > 0:01:28and we begin with one that manages to combine the idea

0:01:28 > 0:01:30of longing and joy.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49More than 6,500 people in the UK

0:03:49 > 0:03:52are currently on the organ transplant list,

0:03:52 > 0:03:54desperately in need of a donor to be found.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Simon Howell is one of those.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02And for him, every day is a waiting game.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06He was born with a serious condition that's causing his kidneys to fail.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Hiya, Simon, nice to meet you. I'm Connie. Sorry to disturb you.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Can I join you, James? - Yes.- Yes! Get in.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18How much has your life changed since you were diagnosed?

0:04:18 > 0:04:22It's changed completely. I was working as a doctor, long hours.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Professional lifestyle, very busy.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28And now I don't work any more, I've been retired for years.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31I often have a sleep during the day for a few hours,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33just so that I'm able to go out

0:04:33 > 0:04:35and do the school run again in the evening

0:04:35 > 0:04:39and spend time with the children at dinner time and do bedtime.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's a full-time illness.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46We got married in '98.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Yeah, it's been really hard.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50I mean, this isn't the life we expected

0:04:50 > 0:04:51or the life we thought we'd have.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55But we do have two amazing, gorgeous children,

0:04:55 > 0:04:58so that's a total miracle and answer to prayer.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02My faith has always been a rock that I can fall back on,

0:05:02 > 0:05:06rather than being a conflict of, "Why am I going through this?"

0:05:06 > 0:05:09My faith is just, well, my faith is there, that's rock solid.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Everything else just fits on top of that.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Simon has had one kidney transplant from his mother.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19But unfortunately, after a year,

0:05:19 > 0:05:23that kidney failed and Simon has had to go back onto dialysis.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Now, three times a week,

0:05:24 > 0:05:28he attends hospital in Brighton for life-saving haemodialysis.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Some people think you have dialysis once and that's it.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38No, you've got to have it every couple of days at least.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43I think people also think that, whether it's dialysis or transplant,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46whatever treatment it is, is a cure, that you're better now.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's like, "No," kidney disease doesn't have

0:05:49 > 0:05:54a cure the way other diseases might have. It's...

0:05:54 > 0:05:56- It's a constant fight? - It is a constant fight.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Well, it's Advent, a time for waiting

0:05:58 > 0:06:00and you know a thing or two about waiting.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02How do you reflect on that?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I remember as a child, when you're waiting desperately

0:06:05 > 0:06:07through the holidays for Christmas

0:06:07 > 0:06:09and it's ten days, 20 days, whatever.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12But you know, it will come and that's your reassurance.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Whereas when you're waiting for a kidney,

0:06:14 > 0:06:16you've got no guarantee that it will ever come.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18And this is Mummy? And Daddy?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21'To raise awareness of the need for organ donation,

0:06:21 > 0:06:24'Simon and Anita have written a children's book

0:06:24 > 0:06:26'based on their family's experience.'

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- So, who's this?- Me.- That's you? - This is a true story.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32This is my everyday life.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35At the end of every night, we pray and this is what we say.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39"Please help the doctors and nurses find a new kidney for Daddy soon.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- "Amen."- Amen!- Amen. - SHE LAUGHS

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Have you ever wondered what makes a great hymn?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Well, Claire McCollum caught up with the writers of what,

0:09:18 > 0:09:20according to a Songs Of Praise poll,

0:09:20 > 0:09:23has become the nation's second most popular hymn.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25In Christ Alone.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Beautiful, Keith.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Such a privilege to be with you both

0:09:37 > 0:09:41on the 15th anniversary of In Christ Alone.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44It's such a stunning, stunning piece of music.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45How did it all come about?

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Our publishers kindly introduced us, and so that was really...

0:09:49 > 0:09:52We began from there and I sent him some tunes.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55As soon as I put the CD on, the first tune,

0:09:55 > 0:09:58I just thought there's something about this, there's something

0:09:58 > 0:09:59that is kind of grand about it,

0:09:59 > 0:10:02there's something that is really singable,

0:10:02 > 0:10:04because Keith is amazing at writing

0:10:04 > 0:10:06singable melodies for the churches.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09And I thought that really works and yet it's really moving,

0:10:09 > 0:10:11there's an emotion about it.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15And so, we talked briefly about themes and began to think actually,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18birth, life, death, resurrection of Christ

0:10:18 > 0:10:22and what that means for us would be the best way to go.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Obviously, a collaboration. You hadn't worked together before.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27What are the challenges you face?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30You questioned a couple of ideas in the lyrics, one was the first line.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Yes, the first line, as I kind of heard it,

0:10:34 > 0:10:37was, "My hope is found in Christ alone."

0:10:37 > 0:10:41And Keith came back and he said, "How about swapping it round?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43"Call it, 'In Christ alone, my hope is found.'"

0:10:43 > 0:10:47# In Christ alone, my hope is found... #

0:10:47 > 0:10:49'Now, I was a bit annoyed at that

0:10:49 > 0:10:51'because I had a rhyme for line three'

0:10:51 > 0:10:53that was kind of like, with "In Christ alone,"

0:10:53 > 0:10:55so I didn't want to change it.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58But of course, that first phrase tells you what the song's about.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's how people know the song and so,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04I think it was absolutely the right decision to do it.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- ALL:- # ..cry to final breath,

0:11:07 > 0:11:12# Jesus commands my destiny... #

0:11:12 > 0:11:16'What is it that makes a great hymn?'

0:11:16 > 0:11:18'Stuart, what he does in his lyrics is create

0:11:18 > 0:11:21'a new unique perspective and a sense of beauty.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23'And letting you look at something that's simple

0:11:23 > 0:11:25'in a way you've never seen before.'

0:11:25 > 0:11:28In Christ Alone has stood the test of time over 15 years.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30And also, something you should be proud of as well,

0:11:30 > 0:11:33it became number two in the Songs Of Praise

0:11:33 > 0:11:36All-Time Favourite Hymns, just below How Great Thou Art.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37What does that mean to you?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, How Great Thou Art was recorded by Elvis

0:11:39 > 0:11:43and launched by Billy Graham, so they've an unfair start, I think.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44THEY LAUGH

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- You're still going for that number one spot.- I tell you what.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49We're nothing but competitive.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29CONNIE: Next Wednesday,

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Scotland celebrates its patron saint's day.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35So, Richard Taylor went to St Andrews to find out more.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40RICHARD: Now, according to legend, in the eighth century,

0:15:40 > 0:15:43this beautiful stretch of Scottish coast received

0:15:43 > 0:15:49a rather unusual visitor who was carrying a rather unusual package.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54His name was Regulus, a Greek monk, and he was on a mission from God.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57You see, Regulus had received a vision in which an angel

0:15:57 > 0:16:02had told him to take a certain relic that was housed in his monastery

0:16:02 > 0:16:05and to travel with it to the ends of the Earth.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Regulus didn't know where he was going, but he obeyed.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Travelled for months over land and sea

0:16:11 > 0:16:14and was probably mightily relieved when he got here

0:16:14 > 0:16:17and was told to stop, put down the relic

0:16:17 > 0:16:19and to build a shrine to house it.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26The relic was part of the body of St Andrew, one of the 12 Disciples.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30This is what remains of the church that contained the shrine.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33You can see the bases of the pillars on either side of the nave,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36the outline of the walls and the high altar

0:16:36 > 0:16:38where the relic would have laid.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42But the church was demolished in the 16th century

0:16:42 > 0:16:45during the Scottish Reformation and the relics were lost.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53In the Middle Ages, this place was a major centre of pilgrimage

0:16:53 > 0:16:56and Andrew became Scotland's patron saint.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03You can usually identify images of Andrew because he's standing

0:17:03 > 0:17:07next to a cross in the shape of an X, known as a saltire.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15According to tradition, Andrew spent the later part of his life

0:17:15 > 0:17:18preaching in what is modern-day Turkey.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Until he so outraged the authorities

0:17:20 > 0:17:23that they had him crucified.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27But they didn't nail him to an upright cross,

0:17:27 > 0:17:30they tied him to a saltire cross.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34The idea being to make him suffer an even slower death.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37But Andrew turned the table on his persecutors,

0:17:37 > 0:17:40continuing to preach and making even more converts.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45And of course, the saltire cross lives on in the flag of Scotland.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'm meeting with Adrian Cox to find out more about Andrew

0:17:50 > 0:17:54and his position as Scotland's patron saint.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56This was a huge cathedral,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59the centre of the Church of Scotland's power

0:17:59 > 0:18:01in the Middle Ages.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- A major pilgrimage centre?- Yes.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07This was an opportunity here that was rather special because

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Andrew was an Apostle of Christ

0:18:09 > 0:18:10and he was martyred.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15So, his relics were considered very, very powerful.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19Somebody that you'd want to get close to to admonish your sins

0:18:19 > 0:18:22throughout your life, something very important in the medieval period

0:18:22 > 0:18:24that people were very serious about.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28And also, to seek cures sometimes for ailments and disease.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34If you're a peasant in medieval Scotland,

0:18:34 > 0:18:38then Bible stories set around the Sea of Galilee and Palestine

0:18:38 > 0:18:42might have felt a little...remote.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46But the idea that the bones of Andrew, Jesus's own disciple,

0:18:46 > 0:18:51were here on Scottish soil would bring them that much closer

0:18:51 > 0:18:54and have created a bond between Andrew and Scotland

0:18:54 > 0:18:56that is unbreakable.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42That traditional favourite was written by

0:20:42 > 0:20:47Cecil Frances Alexander in 1852, especially for St Andrew's Day.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50And our next piece of music brings us right up to date

0:20:50 > 0:20:52with a brand-new song from Matt Redman.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I love the old carols

0:20:57 > 0:21:00and all the ancient ways we sing about Christmas.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03But I also love bringing a fresh voice

0:21:03 > 0:21:06to the wonder of Christmas, the story of Christmas.

0:21:07 > 0:21:11I'm singing a song called How Far and really, it's a journey song,

0:21:11 > 0:21:13it's a song telling a story

0:21:13 > 0:21:16and trying to help us travel to Bethlehem together

0:21:16 > 0:21:18and eventually to the heart of God.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25# In Nazareth, of Galilee

0:21:25 > 0:21:31# An angel speaks the sacred words

0:21:31 > 0:21:35# Mary, you will be with child

0:21:35 > 0:21:39# The miracle of virgin birth

0:21:44 > 0:21:48# Joseph heeds the angel's sign

0:21:48 > 0:21:53# And takes her as his promised wife

0:21:53 > 0:21:58# Now, through the night they journey on

0:21:58 > 0:22:02# How far is it to Bethlehem?

0:22:03 > 0:22:08# Wise men plan their course ahead

0:22:08 > 0:22:13# Searching for the promised king

0:22:13 > 0:22:17# Now from the East, a guiding star

0:22:17 > 0:22:21# How far is it to Bethlehem?

0:22:22 > 0:22:26# How far

0:22:27 > 0:22:30# How far

0:22:32 > 0:22:37# To the place where hope was born?

0:22:41 > 0:22:46# The walls outside Jerusalem

0:22:46 > 0:22:50# Oh, see the mount of Calvary

0:22:50 > 0:22:55# There, lifted high up on a cross

0:22:55 > 0:22:58# The saviour of humanity

0:22:59 > 0:23:04# He conquered sin and buried shame

0:23:04 > 0:23:09# Rose to life and burst the grave

0:23:09 > 0:23:14# Forever bridged the great divide

0:23:14 > 0:23:17# With perfect grace and sacrifice

0:23:19 > 0:23:21# How far

0:23:23 > 0:23:26# How far

0:23:28 > 0:23:31# Love has come

0:23:31 > 0:23:33# To bring us home

0:23:37 > 0:23:42# How far they went to Bethlehem

0:23:42 > 0:23:46# How far you went for Calvary

0:23:46 > 0:23:51# No greater grace was ever known

0:23:51 > 0:23:55# No greater love was ever seen

0:23:55 > 0:24:00# We set our hearts on pilgrimage

0:24:00 > 0:24:05# We're caught up in your story too

0:24:05 > 0:24:09# From Bethlehem to Calvary

0:24:09 > 0:24:14# Our hearts will always follow you

0:24:15 > 0:24:18# How far

0:24:19 > 0:24:22# How far

0:24:24 > 0:24:28# Saviour, lead us to your heart

0:24:28 > 0:24:31# How far?

0:24:33 > 0:24:36# How far?

0:24:38 > 0:24:44# Jesus, lead us to your heart. #

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Gifts come in all shapes and sizes,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57but none more precious than the gift of life.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01Donating an organ can mean the difference between life and death

0:25:01 > 0:25:03for those waiting.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06I've come to Faith Dimensions church in Milton Keynes

0:25:06 > 0:25:09where Darren Ferguson runs the multimedia team

0:25:09 > 0:25:12for his mother and father, who are the church leaders.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16From birth, Darren has suffered with renal failure.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19So, talk me through how many transplants you've had.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22- I've had five in total.- Five? - First one was when I was 13.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26- That literally lasted for eight hours.- Gosh!

0:25:26 > 0:25:30Literally just went in the theatre, had the operation.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34I turned to Mum, "Is it working?" All I remember is seeing her crying.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35And she turned round and said,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37"Darren, I'm really sorry, they had to take it out."

0:25:37 > 0:25:41So, that really did knock me because I was expecting to start

0:25:41 > 0:25:43enjoying life and everything else.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45You know, you had your whole life ahead of you.

0:25:45 > 0:25:50- You were held back by renal failure. - Yeah, every day was painful.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53I did get to a point where it was like, you might as well die.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55This is no life at all.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00'But things were about to change for Darren when Lee Ferrigon

0:26:00 > 0:26:03'came to a service at the church five years ago.'

0:26:03 > 0:26:07- And this is where you first met Darren?- Yeah.

0:26:07 > 0:26:12At the time, my wife had just died. She had stomach cancer.

0:26:13 > 0:26:18It was quite sudden and whilst Keisha was in hospital

0:26:18 > 0:26:21and she was going through her trauma,

0:26:21 > 0:26:23she always had this message

0:26:23 > 0:26:24of hope.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Erm, and I wanted to continue that message,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31I wanted to continue in that strength that she had.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33# Hallelujah, hallelujah! #

0:26:33 > 0:26:37While attending the church, Lee had heard about Darren's illness

0:26:37 > 0:26:40and his need for a kidney transplant.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43We'd just finished here at Faith Dimensions, the service.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44The other side of the room,

0:26:44 > 0:26:48I remember seeing Darren just walking and it was quite strange

0:26:48 > 0:26:51because it's almost like everything just stopped.

0:26:51 > 0:26:56I saw him, he looked quite distressed at the time, quite tired.

0:26:56 > 0:27:01And at that point, I just heard a voice that said,

0:27:01 > 0:27:04"You're going to give him your kidney."

0:27:04 > 0:27:07And for me, that voice was the voice of God telling me

0:27:07 > 0:27:09this is going to happen.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12I remember him speaking to me, saying,

0:27:12 > 0:27:14"I want to give you a kidney."

0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Just out of the blue? - Out the blue! Out the blue.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19I'm like, "What? What are you talking about?"

0:27:19 > 0:27:23At the time, I remember Darren's face. He was kind of like... "What?"

0:27:23 > 0:27:28Kind of thing. He didn't really seem to take me seriously.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31I wasn't rude, but I was kind of like, "You know what, I'm fine."

0:27:31 > 0:27:35Because as I said before, I've kind of adapted to my lifestyle.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37For me, it was about just obedience.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44I was getting more out of this than they were and I don't think

0:27:44 > 0:27:47even probably to this day, they don't even realise that.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50In the back of my mind, I was like, "Let's just shut this guy up!"

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- SHE LAUGHS - Let's just shut him up.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Let's go to the hospital because with transplants,

0:27:55 > 0:27:58there's so many tests that you have to go through.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01The process happened a lot quicker than it should have done.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Because the test came out so well and so brilliantly.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Even some of the doctors and the surgeons,

0:28:08 > 0:28:12they just couldn't believe how well and perfect a match we were.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16I'm like, "No, this can't be real. This cannot be real."

0:28:16 > 0:28:17THEY LAUGH

0:28:17 > 0:28:21'But it was real and the operation was a complete success.'

0:28:22 > 0:28:26It's given me a lot of strength and it's given me a lot of hope.

0:28:27 > 0:28:32It's given me a wider family and wider support.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35'My angel came, Lee. Bless him.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37'And he's given me a new lease of life.'

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Finally.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Yeah, yeah.- I know! - THEY LAUGH

0:28:42 > 0:28:45'Lee is now an important part of the family.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48'Darren and his wife Amanda have had two daughters

0:28:48 > 0:28:50'and Lee is their godfather.'

0:28:50 > 0:28:53'You know, there's been times where I've wanted to give up.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55'You know, I've wanted to die.'

0:28:55 > 0:28:58You go to bed thinking, "I don't want to see tomorrow."

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Just don't want to see the next day but somehow, your eyes open.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04In the back of your mind, thinking, "I'm still here."

0:29:04 > 0:29:09But God has been so good. He's got me through every challenge.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Every single one, I can't sit here

0:29:11 > 0:29:13and say it's because of me or my own strength.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16You know, God has just brought me through every single time.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18- ALL:- # Just the beginning

0:29:18 > 0:29:23# There's so much more God has in store

0:29:25 > 0:29:27# Just the beginning

0:29:27 > 0:29:34# It's not the end, this is just the overture

0:29:34 > 0:29:37# Just the beginning

0:29:37 > 0:29:39# I know you're blessed

0:29:39 > 0:29:43# But you still haven't seen God's best

0:29:43 > 0:29:46# Not yet

0:29:49 > 0:29:53# I already know

0:29:53 > 0:29:57# God's been good to you

0:29:58 > 0:30:02# I already know

0:30:02 > 0:30:07# God's been faithful to you

0:30:07 > 0:30:09# I already know

0:30:09 > 0:30:14# He's done some incredible things

0:30:16 > 0:30:20# But I declare and I decree

0:30:20 > 0:30:24# I prophesy with authority

0:30:26 > 0:30:30# You haven't seen your best days yet!

0:30:31 > 0:30:34# You haven't seen your best days yet!

0:30:35 > 0:30:39# You haven't seen your greatest victory yet!

0:30:40 > 0:30:43# You haven't seen your greatest victory yet!

0:30:44 > 0:30:48# This is just

0:30:49 > 0:30:52# This is just

0:30:53 > 0:30:59# This is just the beginning

0:31:00 > 0:31:05# Yes! Yes

0:31:05 > 0:31:07This is just...

0:31:07 > 0:31:11# This is just

0:31:11 > 0:31:16# the beginning

0:31:19 > 0:31:23# Do you receive the prophecy? #

0:31:28 > 0:31:29Uh-oh!

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Well, from this happy family scene, we say goodbye.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Next week, Josie d'Arby is in Bath

0:31:35 > 0:31:37as the stunning Abbey counts down to Christmas.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43from the beautiful Romsey Abbey.

0:31:43 > 0:31:44Thanks for watching.
