The last post...

It is with great sorrow that I blog the last blog, detailing the honest exploits of Dorset For Singing, aged 5 years! The blog began in the January of 2009 when choir had been going for one term, and only had one blog post to boot! So I offered my dubious wordy services, and these days I am not even moderated!

This blog post is about a hot windy day in the rose garden, where songs were dropped, timings were changed (organisers fault) and handbags were applied to the music stand as stand-in sand bags! (Weather fault)... Sophie even weighed her folder down with a lump of cake.

I am going to miss sharing our adventures with you until halfway through September! The summer holidays looms large and long. I suppose I should finish putting that new zip into Mrs Ed's waterproof trousers before the rains come...

This delightful panorama I shall leave you with, another iPhone greatness featuring disjointed ropes and children with missing parts. Some things just can't be improved upon ....

Have fun, and keep singing, I will always love you xxxx

The one in the common room!

It was very hot in the common room, so Jack fetched out a wobbly fan and my kids sang into it for that crazy Doppler effect! But it was still hot, and very little warm up needed, as Ed did not have a key board. just that wheely-boogie- box speaker and a smarty-pants phone that goes on and plays the next song all by itself, for that seamless concert pleasuring .... 

So due to the fan blowing warm air about, we all sang our songs looking like babes from 80's pop videos. Even the men! and we had a good go at all the problem areas, as this is our last practice before the rose garden, on the 13 July. Because next week is party time, so get thinking what karaoke number you will do! around the mouthful of Jenny's lovely buffet ... I will be back to blog all the best fun from the old music room, of course ...

And in September when we finally reconvene, its party time, 5 wonderful years have passed since we met in that music room to learn out first songs together. i joined three weeks in, and them began to blog in the new year, how long have you been a DFS babe? See you Thursday, BIG LOVE, Cat xxx

The one in the rectory garden...

When Linda dragged back the audience....

She wrote in our facebook group, "Well done choir again at our latest gig! Thanks Ed and Harry for the musical assistance, we all had a great time and looking forward to The Rose Garden do in July.

"I managed to stop some people leaving before we sang and made them `go and sit down or you`ll miss a treat`! I don`t know if they`ll get over being forced `fed`! I think they liked it !! See you all Thursday XXX"

Just sharing the love, here!
