Desert Island Discs - by Skype

As we're locked down, we thought we would create a family moment each week by each choosing one piece of music and talking about what it meant to us over Skype, playing an excerpt of the music, much like the Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs. It was a lovely and heart-warming hour. Maddie wore her hat for her niece and god-daughter Abigail, who you can see here.

My own choice for this first week was "May Each Day", sung by Andy Williams. It takes me back to childhood Sunday evenings.

What an awesome idea. I love how inventive people are being during their isolation. And how we're using technology to keep in touch with loved ones.
