Life long love

For better for worse

Music is evocative and is often wrapped up in a particular emotion. A song can unexpectedly bring great joy into your heart or tears to your eyes. It can also be very moving listening to someone else tell a story featuring a piece of music and the song is forever transformed for you. Such an instance happened to my husband, Garry, and I yesterday.

We were on the way to the Lake district, listening to a Radio 4 programme called Soul Music. The song being discussed was 'Send in the Clown's and various people were declaring it a masterpiece.

It's good to talk

I once heard a joke about a woman who prayed for the gift of 'tongues' (the ability to pray freely in other languages). Her husband was also fervently praying that she wouldn't get this gift as she had more than enough to say in English.

I'm always grateful that God gave me the ability to talk - though I think my husband, Garry, might agree with the husband in the joke. My job involves a lot of travelling and the journey to London is a great opportunity to chat with fellow passengers. Garry says you can tell the commuters from my carriage because they are virtually comatose by the time they stagger off the train at Euston. Cheek!
