Wanting Memories


Our on line choir listened to this together tonight 
we were all moved by it and will sing it when we are eventually together
It’s been a year since we all met last
Tonight was
Twenty or so souls singing together in our living rooms, and offices and spare rooms.

It’s been a strange few days
