The beauty and humanity is shocking.

Lovely, Thank you ❤

[@EatBakeSing]

Thank you for watching

[@LeftLib]

Reminds me of Anne Briggs singing this song. She also came from Nottingham. You both have wonderful voices.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

.... and this is how the love of traditional song is instilled in the next generation thank your for your unpretentious and natural singing and for posting for us all to appreciate and enjoy :

[@EatBakeSing]

That’s really kind thank you. My older three children must know every single word to all the songs I’ve ever sung for them (though they’d not admit it!) at bedtime. Maybe one day they’ll take it up. Who knows 🥰

[@GalicianMeiga]

Beautiful song, Julie. Thank you for sharing your wonderful voice with us.

[@EatBakeSing]

Beautiful song, albeit like much or our wildlife the cuckoo has vanished from most of the English countryside. What a tragedy! what are we doing?.

[@EatBakeSing]

I know it’s terrible 😢 I have not heard a cuckoo for a few years now. We are trashing our countryside

[@paulbird3235]

So true, many a cuckoo I heard around Hardwick Park (a place I know you are familiar), in the past. Thanks for sharing your music.@@EatBakeSing

[@EatBakeSing]

@@paulbird3235 oh you mean up this way? At Hardwick Hall? Yes I’m often up there.
