I was in many choirs as a kid. Church choirs, school choirs, and for a few summers, a performance choir. I liked the church choir best; those girls were the coolest. We ranged in ages and stages, from me, aged ten, all the way to Catherine, aged 17. Catherine looked like Liesl Von Trapp, with shiny brown hair hanging around her shoulders and an alto voice so rich and strong. There were some tall and small, older and younger, sweet voices and some off-key, all working with a common goal - to sing beautifully together. We needed each other, all of us.
Lindsay, yes, I do make Christmas cake and have for quite a number of years. However, when I was younger I disliked it immensely, I wanted so badly to be able to enjoy it along with fruit mince pies but my young tastebuds disapproved! I am so happy they outgrew this! As it is the flavour of Christmas and the nostalgic food memories that come back year after year that I love and enjoy so much x
Thank you Prue! Love the idea of a descant being a backstory… it can be above or behind, just as long as it’s there. Sending best wishes for a safe and happy Christmas to you as well.
Your way with words and their transporting power always leaves me in awe, Lindsay. Thank you. I so enjoyed this read.
You have the most wonderful Christmas 🎄 xx
Merry Christmas Amy to you and your gorgeous family. Thank you! And tell me, do you make Christmas cake? Have you always liked it?

Lindsay, you truly make food fly to the stratosphere with every telling. It's always the backstory too, in descant, that adds to it!
Thank you and have a safe and happy Christmas.

I loved singing in choirs.
Fruit cake was never my thing but i do love a good stollen.
Wishing you a warm and delightful Christmas 🎄
