Ole Laya Loila

 I can’t wait to sing this at choir again 

I drove past my favourite cafe in Colwyn Bay early this morning on my way to work.

It was still dark

For weeks it has looked somewhat dilapidated and empty with whitewashed windows and an unkept sign proclaiming a simple “ Shut”

This morning the mismatched chairs and wooden tables were back in their untidy islands and the counter top swept clean in readiness for the stacks of coffee cups and plates stood neatly behind.

The whole place shrieked 

“ I’m ready....I’m ready post lockdown”

It made my heart sing just a little
