Not such a big crowd this week but those there had a good time and also dug deep again for the raffle so thanks everyone for that…Lovely prizes as always, and thanks to Christine and Clover for doing the raffle and the boys for folding the tickets…

Two birthdays so the band gave us their rendition of 'Happy Birthday' for June and Christine…

I do hope all those who are still unwell can soon get better and come along to join us again we do have such lovely people at the Jazz, and we miss those who cannot be there and those no longer with us in body we like to think they are looking down on us each week and still enjoying the jazz. Live music is wonderful.

Thanks Emily nice to see you back and thank you for your help…

Nice to see Mavis and Peter long journey for them but they love the jazz…

Good luck to all those running the London Marathon on Sunday …do take care Robin and enjoy it …and not too much beer Fudge ha ha…

A few photos, Fudge has some on FB. one of Barry as I did not get a good one of him, sorry. Better save up for one of those magic phones, but my old brain may not know how to use one…

A few Spring flowers…

Just a few photos of parts of the garden lots of work to do still but it does begin to look good and we have just had some rain… 

Also as I was ironing in the conservatory the baby birds which use the garden though their nest was next door, and Oscar could not be resisted…because he leaves the birds alone…

That was a great night of live music and singing from the Sole Bay Jazz Band and guests at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham last evening.

Great to hear lots of different tunes jazz and blues  with  some very talented playing from our regular band and Martin coming along again to guest, with Simon Denny in fine voice and Barry (not in his hat) great vocals, and singing an old girl guides song, we just needed the bonfire!!!It was a very lovely evening

I know I say it a lot but it is truly wonderful to have the band playing for us each week we are so lucky, and what a great crowd it is picking up nicely again now Spring is here, so thank you all for coming hope you enjoyed the music as much as I did.

Again thank you all for digging deep for the raffle, a great raffle last night again lots of good prizes…thanks to Christine and Clover. Of course thank you to Don and Duncan for folding all those tickets…

So nice to have Kim coming along with Simon, Sheila did not feel up to it, but know you look in here Sheila so we do miss you, sending lots of hugs and hope to see you soon.

Thanks for the good company last evening… missed my side kick …get better soon…and for Holly who did great work behind the bar.

For all those unwell hurry up and get better .

I will just mention Irene Oxborough  her passing is a sad loss she loved the jazz and she will be missed especially by our great coven table. She joins all those jazzers who look down on us each week.

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Healthy Easter…
