THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN SINGING IS MORE SINGING*

I like singing at the elderly care homes, which we do twice a year, because our audiences for the most part are so very appreciative. They sing along and nod and smile at us. Frail shoulders bob when we sing the livelier tunes and more than one face is teary-eyed when we round up with the 3 tightly harmonic verses of Silent Night. But it makes me very pensive as I can’t help but put myself in their slippers and wonder what life is like there for them, what will it be like for me if I end up someday...
