Dawn service
Twenty minutes at six, in the dark, in the churchyard
It is short, it is genuinely cold, and about forty people come every year. Knowing all three things beforehand is why they keep coming.
The timing
Six until about twenty past, in the churchyard rather than inside. Sunrise is at six forty and the point is the dark before it.
The cold
Standing still outdoors in April at six is colder than it sounds. Two layers more than you think, and gloves.
Afterwards
Breakfast in the hall from half past six, which is warm, free, and the part most people stay longest for.
