Garden…

A few photos of how the garden is changing…Lots of work to do out there, but the birds and bees do not mind the wildness !

Morning Jazzers…

Here we go again another Thursday without our Jazz… but as lockdown is getting nearer to coming to an end, maybe we can have a hope that all will be well as soon as possible! So keep practising our band members as we will be needing you to give us our jazz nights back…

I have been delving back in the photos, and as Tony does a great job of the modern times, I like to look at some memories for those who were there…and some who are looking down…

There are some great ones of some of jazzers so will have to ask and see if can put them on…

So for the time being, hoping that everyone is keeping nice and busy and starting to go out a bit more. stay safe and take care…

Roy  sends his best to one and all …I  popped round to see him on his birthday, he was pleased to hear from Ian… who I believe is much better now after his accident…Jazz Janet and several others, he does miss the hugs…Go past Barry's bungalow but so far no sign of him !

Thanks to all those who keep in touch with me …Jan and I have made a few visits to one another keeping the distance…Feels strange and isolating but we are both well even if achy with too much gardening!

So here are a few photos from the Buck and goodness knows what I did to Tony with the glow! miss you all…and the background showing up Tim and Derek's shirts!!!!

More garden flowers…

A few more flowers, every thing seems to be doing ok even without rain, but have to water now each evening…Lots of hard work but so worth it…

Sole Bay Jazz Band

Good morning Jazzers… Yet another Thursday without the physical band members… however I hope that one day this will contain the line up for our evening of Jazz and friendship…

As Tony does a great job of the latest band videos…I looked for a few photos from the past for your memories…

It will be Roy Symonds birthday tomorrow, I am in touch with him, and do try to have a chat and wave when I do my walk past his…and will make sure I see him tomorrow …he misses everyone and you know Roy he misses his hugs…

I expect a lot of you know that Ian Murray had a nasty fall and ended up in hospital a few weeks ago, he sent me a photo of his poor face, so I am sure you will like me wish him a speedy recovery… watch where you put your feet whilst out everyone.

Happy Anniversary to June and Les 59 yrs yesterday 

My specs broke on Sunday, leaving me trying to see! , however thanks to Martin Story Opticians who fixed me in on Monday… I was worried as had only been out a few times and not met people outside the family …have been self isolating…the staff welcomed me  they all had masks and gloves lots of hand sanitiser……they gave me a mask  took my temperature … Martin himself in  full PPE gear ready to test some ones eyes…actually seeing someone not just on TV in full PPE was really eye opening literally ! it is cumbersome, hot and so I thought of all those wonderful NHS and others who have to wear this everyday to help others. my heart goes out to them… I was helped to pick a new frame, luckily I do not need a new prescription  I now await my new specs! fingers crossed quickly as I am wandering around without them… thank goodness have reading glasses…

I really hope you are all keeping well and with the correct safe space between others…… We will have to learn to get back to some sort of normal. I am missing our Thursday nights, and enjoying keeping in touch with some of you jazzers…

Stay safe…

A few photos…about 2012/13

Another wander through the garden…

A few more photos of the garden as it blossoms everyday… Hopefully it will cheer people up.

It is amazing how much keeps popping up in my little wild garden, and although I cannot do as much as would like to, I do get so much enjoyment from the garden.

Jazz Nights

Another Thursday comes around with not being able to have The Sole Bay Jazz Band playing at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…

I hope you are all keeping well and safe, and that soon it will be safe to meet up again, hope you are managing to practice!

Thanks Tony for all the videos on Face Book, some nice memories, and keeping everyone in touch…

I have found a few oldies for you this week, tribute to some of the great players that we have had the privilege to listen to in the past…and hopefully some who we will soon be seeing!

Happy Birthday to our Chris Capocci…

Enjoy… keep in touch…Hope you are all clapping for those on the front line and all those who are keeping us in self isolation fed and watered!

A few flowers to cheer!

Another wander round garden a few nice bright spots, but need rain sadly!

New Lilac tree last year coming along…

Wild flowers for birds and bees!

Wisteria growing again after last years hair cut!

Jazzers

Well yet another Thursday with no Sole Bay Jazz Band, but I do hope all you Jazzers are keeping well and safe…

I thought as I was feeling very nostalgic would post a few blasts from the past for you.

Also it is Colin's birthday today and Rosemary's is on the 12th so wishing them a Happy Birthday…Also Tony Nicholls on the 12th.

Found this of Colin in the old days always a laugh…

Also a few more memories 

Always a very orange glow from the Buck!

Some past pals…

Great lunchtime …

A few garden photos for May…

I missed out getting seeds, garden plants and compost  this year, but looking every day at my wild garden …may not really need them… as everything seems to be coming into bloom, and little corners are getting pretty… so things do turn out just as well if we leave nature to itself…Just wish this virus would go away, but we have to take every day as it comes and stay away from our loved ones, so for those who have  not got a garden to look at … maybe you are enjoying the photos of mine in these strange times…

The Choisya a bit ragged after the frost…

The bluebells arriving…

I call this Pasque flower. Pulsatilla real name.

Clematis with white rose  climbs on the dead Red robin wood.

Weigela and behind Hibiscus now coming into bloom.

Harebells…
