Doll On A Music Box - Sally Ann Howes


I love small magical moments 
Those that catch you totally by surprise and make you stop dead in your tracks

Friday night was a case in point, and one I didn’t describe adequately at the time, but it was as moving as it was unexpected and it was collectively felt and experienced by everyone present in the same way, which is always rare yet surprisingly moving.

The adults were all busy with doing Things as ten year old Imogen was asked to test the sound system in the memorial Hall. 

There were a dozen of us in the hall as she started to sing.
A young soprano, with a beautifully clear voice singing Doll on a Music Box from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

The room fell silent immediately. 

Then The Velvet Voiced Linda and others waved their arms in way of accompaniment as the little girl’s voice literally filled the hall.

One of those moments that just happen out of nowhere

  1. My husband and I called these Susan Boyle moments. I still do. Magical and a privilege to behold.

  3. Yes, some things are just so beautiful and magical you almost can't believe they're real. Moments to treasure and store away for those days when life is less than perfect! xx

    Is there an update on the German? You mentioned having a meeting with him. Hope all goes well there, although preferably with him now being without his partner.
