Choir




Last night I went to the 10th Birthday party of the Gwaenysgor Community Choir. 
It was lovely seeing everyone Margaret and Richard from Trelawnyd was there with the Turpins so I caught up with them before catching up with the ever happy Hattie, Heulwen and Derek  before touching base with Jamie sporting a fledgling 1940s RAF Moustache.
I’ve missed choir but have been sanguine that something had to give between, college, counselling days and work. 
I’m not superwoman
I can’t juggle every ball that’s thrown my way. 
My plan is that I return to choir in September.  
It’s a good decision , especially as I was moved to tears by some of their latest songs, so powerful and strong.

  1. The choir will be glad to have their soprano soloist back singing "Walking In The Air" just like Aled Jones.

    Good to hear that you will be returning to the choir when you can. Do you sing at home?

  5. You are always so busy and occupied. Don't you hanker for just quiet time, on your own?

  6. Until you re-join them all in September, you can support them by attending any of their concerts, and , of course, giving them free advertising here on your blog! There are only so many hours in the day and you're wise to prioritise. You still fit more into a day than I do in a week! xx

    Naughty Pudding! But so well said, Debby. They look a wonderful warm and welcoming group of people, the sort to lift everyone else's spirits as well as lifting their own. And the world needs more people like that. So shoulders back, tits forward, open your lungs and - SING!

    Glad you will have two choirs in your life soon. I must ask - is that the beautiful Hattie with the sweet baby and stuffed Welsh toy on your side bar? How quickly they grow! - Jackie

    1. Yes it was lovely to see them both and Adam of course. As they sang Freya dramatically did the splits on the floor in front of them

  12. Awesome!
    And I think I'd faint if I could sing in a choir. Really. It's one of my pet peeves: I'm tone deaf.

    XOXO

    What happy faces in the choir photo!
    You're wise not to try to do everything and wise to make room for choir again when it fits easily into your schedule. Being lifted up by song is the best!

    Hugs!
