Here’s a great song for any TWILIGHT fans – Christina Perri’s beautiful song – ‘A Thousand Years’.
As Tracy is currently recovering from a shoulder operation, I thought I’d do a bit of Carpool karaoke signing here with my daughter Ella (this is one of Ella’s favourite songs). Ella turned 18 last year so the lyrics in this songs are also quite poignant for me as Ella enters the next chapter of her life as a young adult!
Here are the #Makaton signs we chose to put into this song – enjoy!
