A lie in! And not only a lie in but Maddy came knocking with tea. Heaven! Our concert in Durham cathedral wasn’t until 2pm so we had a leisurely morning in Jean’s home before setting off. (Believe me, ‘Song-Cycling’ and ‘leisurely’ do not always come hand in hand so this was a treat!)
Wow, what a venue Durham cathedral made! We performed in the heart of the cathedral, and although we gave it all OUR heart, the concert only brought £125 into the pot. In a way, the grandeur of the place rather overwhelmed the intimacy of our offering. Where other performances have allowed us to truly connect with the audience, here in Durham cathedral it felt much more like ‘them’ and ‘us’. It must be said that the magnificence of the setting almost made up for it and it was especially lovely to have Maddy join the Dotty Divas for a couple of items.
Maddy and Jean: Here I am, saying it again - Such kind, special, generous people. Thank you both! What I am realising about charity work is that although you may not be earning in a financial sense, people give in a totally different way. I wonder whether this sort of soulful income makes us all the more rich?
