How lucky are we to have such talent for free......

Missed you Neil B ...if you look in...I shall be looking on your site to catch up....

Great to see all the lovely friends there.. and dear Neville you have been ill but you have such a good time, and you are a great advocate for keeping going through all the bad times....

Have to mention Nigel you always look so dapper.....loved the red and black....
and of course Phil our host, Heather and Simon thanks for the great laughs Heather you naughty girl!!

Roll on next week......

Spring 2010

Could not resist a few crocus... how they manage to come through all that bad weather and still bloom is amazing...

This little bed is under the bird station, and the birds like to peck the poor flowers...waiting for the tulips to appear here.....

They are so pretty, pity they last such a short time...still spring is on its way now.....

Cake and Jazz.....

A sponge I made last week for a friend, not able to get a smooth finish on a sponge everytime one presses down it pops up again, still as long as it tastes good!!

Went to the Sole Bay Jazz again last night, another great night and the music is fantastic, and such lovely friends, makes life worth while.... must take the camera next week have not put a photo of the band for ages.....

Spring Walk!

Went for a nice walk in the very bitter cold wind, but gorgeous sunshine yesterday. This tree is usually surrounded with grass!
and this is not the river but the park near it! ice still on the water and would be a cold damp picnic!

Lots of fishermen .. not a lot of fish being caught! but a lot of very cold men!

More ice...on the park...but the sun as I said was lovely.

Spring has sprung!

Not great photo's, but just popped out in the garden when the sun shone for a while....found some crocus...

And some snowdrops.....

Spring is really trying to arrive... even though it has just started to rain!

Cheered up!

I have not had the best of health of late, however hopefully thankfully recovering now....hugs to everyone who is feeling low....there has been a lot of bad chesty coughs and colds round here.

Had to miss my night out at the Flixton Buck and the great Sole Bay Jazz Band, and all my great friends there... hopefully I can come next week folks....

I had a lovely surprise yesterday... a friend called round and brought me a beautiful bunch of flowers, and not only that, some cooked chicken and a salad and fresh fruit... just to cheer me up....and it worked.. so thanks my friend much appreciated...I will cook you a nice meal when I am better...

Jazz and Friends

Last night once again the Sole Bay Jazz were playing their wonderful music at the Fixton Buck....and I was lucky enough to be there....forgot the camera, but if you look back on here have posted a few in the past....

I was going to write about the great night out this morning, but have been rather under the weather... feeling very sorry for myself.... when one of the lovely people from the followers of the great SBJ sent me an e mail. so thank you Neil as you cheered me up as usual...and thanks for the link... now I will have to watch what I write on here...since you have put my link on your web!!!!

What a great night as always. lots of wonderful music, singing and lots of laughs and fun with old and new friends..... Thanks again Ivan for taking me, and for all the nice people who said hope I soon feel better, oh dear, this chesty cough seems to like me, just hope no one catches it!!!!

Thanks to all the staff, and the chef of course as we had another lovely meal again last night.. also looking forward to Sunday Lunch if this cough lets me!!!!!If you are local you should try the carvery on a Sunday well worth it....

Must mention our dear friends Colin and Duncan who put up with us every week...Jazz brings a real pleasure to me, I love all live music, but the SBJ fellows are very special...

Looking forward to next week... thanks for putting the line up on the Southwold Jazz site Neil.. see Chris is playing...so Ruth will be very happy...well so will we...maybe a song as well.....or perhaps Roy will perform for us...such a lot of talent gets there...

How lucky am I to have such great friends.. thank you one and all.. xx
