SOLE BAY JAZZ…

Rather late this week with my report of the Sole Bay on Thursday night, but here goes…

Another great night of live jazz music and some really nice vocals, but a very small audience, however those of us there managed to make sure the band realized we appreciated it all…

Did not manage the band as a whole but a few photos…Tim and a little pic of TonyJ…

and then Tony P and Barbara…

Derek…managed ot get Neil on this one as well…

As I have mentioned a smaller amount of people but a lot are on holiday this time of the year, they missed a really musical evening…but hope we will see a lot more next Thursday.

Jon hope you did not really mean it was my fault! ha ha, Heidi you always cheer us up with your smile.

Sheila I know Keith will show you this so I will tell you I think you are such a brave wonderful lady and the news so far seems very good so all our prayers are winging your way to make sure you are soon back among us all at the jazz, as I told Keith just about everyone at the jazz wanted to know how you were so they will be pleased to read this. Sending love to Suzie and Julie who I know are taking good care of you.

I await news from Alan for next weeks line up …

Day Out!

Yesterday I went with my sister in law on our coach trip with lots of friends who I used to work with, we go twice a year to Bury St Edmunds, and always have a good day out.

We all say hello and suppose we look also to see if anyone has changed much, and sorry to say a lot of dear friends are no longer able to go on the trips, but it is so good to know that after all these years we may look different on the outside but inside we are still those young printing works people who clocked in at 7.45 and out at 5.45.

The Cathedral Gardens are always our end of the day visit and they never fail to to please…

I did not take photos of the hanging baskets but thank goodness this year the health and safety people were not going to stop this lovely town putting their wonderful show of hanging baskets up. last year we missed them but this year they are spectacular …

Such great gardeners spend a lot of time on these gardens and the amount of people that visit must be a reward for them as well as the pleasure it gives to many people…

What a good day out thanks to all my fellow travel companions roll on next year.

Back to Jazz post!

PARADE…

This afternoon I sat, as I am sure many others did to watch the parade to celebrate the Olympics and Paralympics…All the athletes that took part and the many people that made it possible…

Great Lions …bet the people in them were tired by the time they reached Buckingham Palace…

Some of the crowd which were lining the streets of London Town…

The Gold statue welcoming the Golden athletes…

The Red Arrows finishing the parade…

I do hope the great feeling that both games have brought to this country continues in the future… it will certainly get some of the children who have been sitting in front of the TV to get out and get into sport… well done to all.
