I have been sitting going through all the #magicmoments I would possibly like the share and the one that keeps coming back to me is from Friday evening at our village Harvest Festival.
The children were scheduled to sing a couple of songs in the church service and so there was much excitement in the week leading up to Friday (with a lot of singing in the bath practising their songs – which was lovely!). The boys had also asked if we could go to the Harvest supper after the service – which we thought sounded like a good idea.
Friday morning arrived and I thought it best to let the boys know that their dad would probably miss the church service because of the time he had to leave work but would definitely make the supper. They accepted this and waved him off in the morning with a ‘See you at the Harvest supper Dad!’.
The kids all sang beautifully that evening and it is just pure joy to listen to them all. My supportive husband had managed to hot foot it to the other side of the village after driving back from the train station and made it to the service in time to listen to the kids sing their 2nd song.
Our youngest son clocked him and had the biggest smile on his face. He came running up to him at the end of the service and said ‘Dad you made it!’. My supportive husband said it was so worth the rush and that he was pleased he had got there for the boys.
Most of the times, it’s not the fact the person was late – it’s that they made the effort! The boys didn’t notice that he was late – they noticed that he was there. In this case the effort was so worth it!
Aww!! How lovely x
Thank you for stopping by x
Aww that’s really lovely. I remember my Dad coming to my school plays and things. Very special memories 🙂

awww this is so so lovely, i was a single working mum until a few years ago and missed all my daughters plays and things so i can just imagine how thrilled they were to have him there xx
thanks for linking up with #magicmoments
Thanks Jaime! I am so sorry you missed them – I admire single parents so much – I honestly don’t know how they stay sane x
Oh, sounds wonderful, a village festival and kiddies singing at it!
Oana – you said it…very privileged to listen to the kids sing in such a small church too x
How lovely for the kids to have Dad there! Great #MagicMoment 🙂
Thank you for your lovely comment – I just love the relationship they have with their dad x
This is very sweet. Yes effort counts! Your little ones are lucky with their dad!

Thanks Maria! I can’t agree with you more x
I have a very similar post on Harvest Festival, such special times when the kids are young.
I remember your post Fiona – such a lovely time of the year. We only have around 40 children in total so to hear them sing so loudly and clearly when there are so few is just lovely x
