"I'm in love with Hayley's music." doesn't sound right. "I'm in love with Hayley's voice!" sounds better to me.

Hi All!
Some of you may remember from the BBC Radio Wales Cardiff thread, my story of Elizabeth's CD and getting Hayley to sign it.
As I've already posted, she was delighted with the signed CD and photograph and wanted to repay me in some way. Despite my protestations that nothing else was necessary on her part, I did accept an invitation to Sunday lunch which took place today with two other members of our church 'family'.
I arrived at 1.30pm and eventually left 5 hours later at 6.30, during which time the topic of conversation was essentially Hayley. I took with me Hayley's first CD "Hayley Westenra" which played whilst we ate an excellent lunch and which was received with great pleasure.
It felt very special to be able to share my feelings about Hayley with people who were able to understand and although I worried at times that too much Hayley, to some people, may be overpowering, it seemed exactly the opposite as I have been invited back.
I may not have introduced three new people to Hayley, but at least they now know a heck of a lot more about her than they did an I enjoyed sharing my experiences more than you can imagine.
God bless
Grant

Hi Grant, Thanks for sharing your news about your Sunday lunch with us- what a brilliant effort!!! Most of my friends know how much I love "everything Hayley" too... Last night I met up with one of my old school friends and his wife- they were up visiting Edinburgh for the weekend from Manchester (with their 6 month old baby boy, Alex) I booked a table for us at a Chinese restaurant where we enjoyed our meal over about 2 hours. My old school friend Richard, brought the topic of Hayley into the conversation and we reminisced about 22nd November 2004, which was the night when we attended Hayley's final concert of the Winter 'Pure' Tour at the Manchester Bridgewater Hall... We talked about Hayley for ages!!! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifHayley's performance of 'Wiegenlied' was one of my favourite pieces on the Winter 'Pure' Tour set list. I hope she performs it again one of these days... Andrew  |

Hi all, Grant, your friend Elizabeth certainly seemed grateful after what you did (who wouldn't? ) and it is great to hear that you had the opportunity to share your feelings about all things Hayley. Maybe next time they will come with you to one of her concerts? Belinda & Andrew, it's so nice that you can share this passion with your friends and collegues. My family and friends are bored when I start to speak about Hayley & HWI.  Stephany |
