6 SEPTEMBER 2024

More hard last time but a lot of fun I think (or at least I hope).  You’ll be in Karen’s capable hands for the next couple of weeks before the two of us are back together again in next month.  Don’t forget neither Karen nor I are available on 25th September so, regrettably, there will be no choir on that date.  

This coming week you’ll be  doing Oak of Old and This Little light as warm-ups, continuing The Road Home and Grateful and Loved (both well on the way to completion) and, with luck Blue Moon and Lollipop (both held over for a couple of weeks now).    All words where needed have been attached in recent weeks.   Please print them out yourselves if you can.
