A Special Visitor arrives at supper time
Monday 15th December
This afternoon we had a visit from Sharnbrook's Learning for Pleasure choir, who sang a selection of Christmas songs old and new. Because Sharnbrook village has a great community spirit, some of the choir are 'the usual suspects', our volunteers and tea ladies, who seem to be involved with everything!
An enthusiastic attendance from the choir meant that we could not fit
all the singers in the room, so we had a vertical arrangement of voices
going up the stairs. Afterwards we shared mince pies and the inevitable
sherry.
Most of the singers are from the village, so many residents had
a chance to catch up with old friends.
The room was full of chatter and laughter, and really made us feel the festive season has started. One of the choir took me aside and confided, 'I worked here for twelve years before I retired, I love coming back, it's like a big warm comfort blanket.'
