Kiri Te Kanawa makes an impression

This morning, because their daddy was away, the girls joined me in bed for half an hour before we all got up. As we lay listening to the morning news on the radio, the beautiful sound of Dame Kire Te Kanawa in full song flooded the room, introducing a story about her imminent retirement from the world of opera. The girls instantly fell silent, mesmerised by her voice. “That music is REALLY REALLY in our house” murmered Lulu eventually. She’s only four, so she doesn’t always know how to express her amazement at something. But she expressed it very well with her next words. When the music stopped, she said “That music came from my heart”. Sweet. I’d better download some Kiri from iTunes, she has a new fan.
