I received some lovely decorations through the post this morning which I had ordered for our tree, with the names of each of our four granddaughters  on.
I was sad to hear of Benjamin Zephaniah’s death, as I met him in 2012 when he invited our choir to perform a song on stage with him at the Ilkley Literature Festival. The article from our local paper explains why he asked us to join him. He was such a nice man. I took this photo of him when he was chatting to us after he heard our singing.
