Young Voices

Took a half day today to make sure we weren't rushing to get to Sheffield Arena to see Young Voices 2015, as Lottie was taking part with some others from her school. We woke to snow and it snowed a bit more through the morning but got heavier mid afternoon. Fortunately it wasn't bad enough to stop everybody getting there safely.

We treated ourselves to Carluccio's for tea first then carried on to the arena. Didn't know what to expect and we were hit by a wall of noise as hundreds of over excited kids got ready to sing. It was fabulous - there were some other singers from X Factor etc, and some street dancers too. They all included the kids in their songs and the atmosphere was lovely.

We could just about make Charlotte out - her school were right at the back and half obscured from our viewpoint by a large speaker hanging down! Got a bit emotional at times but loved it.

This is madam after we had picked her back up from school - she had a fantastic time but was so tired as you can see!
