School carols and childrens voices

It's the time of year that turns me into an emotional sniffling wreck. There is nothing that gets my heart strings tugging than hearing children sing carols, however badly! It's the last gasp of innocence before they go off to Denny High School, that bleak, massive run down place. Coming from a small village primary school , with a roll of under 200, to a huge, sprawling , decaying, institution looking school must be a culture shock to them all. The DQ managed to survive so I suppose the Princess will as well. I wonder if it has something to do with it being the youngest child that makes me worse? Didn't think about it as much as this when the DQ furthered her education. Come to think of it, I didn't bat an eyelid either when she furthered it even more and moved out to Uni!! Who would have me as a Mother? Probably the Baudelaire children would.... compared to Count Olaf, I would be like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way!

Anyway, the concert raised £863 quid for Strathcarron Hospice. Nice one!! http://www.strathcarronhospice.org/
