I do hope you have had a great Christmas, and all keeping well…
I was so lucky after being more or less house bound most of the year, it was so good to have a very Happy Boxing day with Family some I had not seen over 2 years…A wonderful day.
On the computer this popped up, a photo out of the blue, a night at the Green Man many years ago, but Tim and Phil playing…You know how I love these memories…
Well as no jazz this week, I felt a bit of nostalgia coming on , and found some great photos a real blast from the past for you, hope everyone forgives me if you did not wish to be on here but it is Christmas! Some of these lovely people are no longer with us but looking down from above …
In no particular order …2020 Forgive these are from my dear old little camera ! no idea who took the last one!
