🎶 What a wonderful singing group at Verulam House! 🎶
It was lovely to hear everyone singing together, filling the room with joy, smiles, and music. A special highlight was Lacrima’s solo performance, which she kindly sang after being specially requested — and she absolutely delighted everyone! 💙✨
Moments like these show just how much music brings us together. Thank you to all who joined in and made it such a memorable session.
