Chronophage Time Flies at Lion Yard

Thank you so much to everyone who visited Lion Yard for the official launch of the new Midsummer Chronophage !  It was wonderful to see so many friends and fans of the new timekeeper and time-eater.  A special thanks goes to the Centre Manager Roger Allen who organised a brilliant event.  We even had the superb singers from the Cambridge Chord Company there.  Enjoy this record of a fabulous day to be remembered.
