There was a big crowd of us carol singing around Portchester last evening after the fayre. So good to see whole families coming along to sing. The highlights were: watching the children's faces as they signed Away in a Manger for a deaf family; seeing the generosity of people in the Wicor Mill Pub as they contributed to our school charities (once they'd got over the surprise of us singing to them); the thankfulness of an old neighbour of Mrs Pattison who, although 90 and struggling to get about, managed to get to the door and listen to us. Big thank you to Mrs P who provided hot chocolate and mince pies to a crowd much bigger than expected. Thanks to all who made the effort to come along. It was a worthwhile occasion and ,as a bonus, also raised over £60 for our school charities and school music.
