...eight hours in the company of children and young folk at our Eisteddfod.
Poor kids....rich kids....kids who'd been born a bit different.....it didn't matter and it was wonderful.....☺
They listened to each other....applauded the winners....shook hands (that was sweet)......and they thanked us all at the end......
But the icing on the cake for me?... The teenagers.....they were magnificent. They took so much interest in the other competitors.....were so well mannered and respectful, not just to each other, but to the old fogies like me who were making sure all ran to time and in the right order.
The lass who became so overwhelmed....cried and ran off the stage wasn't laughed at or mocked....she was shown such kindness by the other competitors....
'Tis a shame that some of us grow out of that attitude towards others....
I'm shattered... nicely shattered so....a quick supper then off to bed because I have to do it all again from 9a.m.....but this time it's adult choirs.....and last year I recall some fisticuffs there......grown ups, eh?......☺
Hi, TonyV....can't begin to tell you the joy today brought. Tomorrow night we have an all winners concert.....and those who didn't win will be there too.
It's a lovely night....x
