Good Evening Everyone :-) :-) <3

It's been hot here again today, but overcast at times and heavy. We've had one thunder storm (Wed) and I wouldn't be surprised if we have another!

That was a fun experience for you Liz :-)
I went on a school cruise to the Mediterranean when I was 13. When the ship turned round in the Port of Leghorn, Italy, Handel's Messiah was played triumphantly over the loudspeakers!!!
When we arrived back in Swansea during the night, over the tannoy to wake us up that last morning, was the Seekers song "The Carnival Is Over":-D :-D :-D

I enjoyed both of those versions Liz. :-)
I think because of the era it was recorded in, the Vera Lynn version had a poignancy to it, that made me have goosebumps!


My Grandson had his School Leavers Prom last night. He looked very smart and handsome! <3


OH DARLING .......... THE BEATLES

It's great to have memories associated to songs. It really cheers you up to hear a song you enjoyed in the past.

And the Maori version by HAYLEY WESTENRA

I lived abroad when I was younger and this was always played when the big cruise ships left the harbour. Many happy memories of exploring the ships with my friends at weekends...no security checks back then, they just weren't needed or even thought about. A more innocent time sadly forever gone.

Good Afternoon Songsters :-D :-D <3

This record also brings back memories of the resident group at a nearby holiday park, who used to sing this very well. They were called The Blackjacks and were all South Wales men. The keyboard player / singer was local.
