I’m humming carols.  Just back from a ladies night at Crosswind (this is the community church that hosts Mom’s Connect).  It has been a lovely evening.  An event that is organised by the ladies committee that includes good food, good company and some wonderful pieces of music, drama and dance that gave a women’s perspective on the Christmas story.

Singing carols definitely fills the heart and I miss that element of the traditional services back home at this time of year.  On Thursday I came home and put King’s College choir on the TV (the marvels of smart television and U Tube!).

I sat at a table with a mum who’s son is in the same year as mine and also at the same school.  So they were on stage together last night for the Christmas performance.  There were 70 children (5 and 6 years at the oldest) on the stage all singing, waving their arms to the actions of the songs and a number had solo speaking parts and a couple of solos.  Considering most of them would have normally been in their pyjamas and heading to bed, they did an amazing job.

My boy couldn’t see us in the audience and despite my neck stretching and sitting taller in my seat I couldn’t catch his eye.  He looked so confident walking up to the microphone to speak his part.

So now I am going to enjoy the glass of wine I have poured and look forward to the weekend.  Cheers!
