Wedding

On Saturday I was invited to my great niece's wedding …Rachael and Stuart are a lovely couple, they wanted a simple wedding with a few family and friends, and they certainly got a beautiful dream day.

Everything that could be was natural and very down to earth, vintage as it could be …so wonderful, I said it was like a fairy wedding  in a woodland setting. The Sunflowers were a great touch.

Thank you for inviting me I would not have liked to miss seeing you two wed ,with that lovely service and the music the lady played on her piano was a wonderful touch of class.

The Bridesmaids were gorgeous, in fact it all was everything you could have wish for.

All the family pulled together to produce some great flowers/ food/ music/drinks… and it went so smoothly, I wish you both a  wonderful married life, you deserve it.

I am looking forward to the photos that Sophie took, I cannot resist just putting a couple that I took on here.

I thought this showed the ethereal feel of the day
two lovely people joined together.

The cake cutting…

Mike. Emily. Rachael .Katie. Claire
Beautiful people…

Sunday 16th August at The Goat Skeyton, The Norfolk Jazz Quartet played their 1st gig there to see how it would be what the owners and customers would like… well they need not have worried, a really good crowd turned out to hear them and by the comments during and after they played, it went down very well, so well done Band you were great.

How lucky am I.

Sole Bay Band 13th August…

Last night at the Sports Pavilion, The Sole Bay Jazz Band played to a much smaller crowd, but one that enjoyed the evening, a lot of different music, with all the many instruments played so well… Great to see such fine musicians play for us at Ditchingham. we also had Simon to sing us some lovely vocals.

Thanks to Heidi smiling as always, enjoy some time off now…Fudge and family enjoy Camp, ha ha that sounds bad, enjoy Scout camp. We will miss you.

Great friends and good music what more could one want.

Missed you June, hope the wrist soon improves, seems to have been a lot of injuries this year amongst our friends, so hope everyone soon improves, it was good to see a few who have returned, so good health to one and all. Thanks to Jan who got us home in that terrible storm. Hope everyone had a safe journey.

Thanks for digging deep for the raffle, which as you know helps with getting these fine musicians each week to play for us… as well a few prizes…and some laughs…

Just a few photos, either I was moving to the music or I had a shaky hand but got a few in the end…All looking very serious, but they did have fun!

A day out in the sun!

Today Jan took me out for a pre birthday treat, and what a glorious weather day, we did not expect it so hot, so a bit burnt!

We went to Aldeburgh and by the look of all the people who where lying out on the beach in the brilliant sunshine, there will be a few sore bodies this evening.

The traffic was terrible the driving from some people overtaking in the worst places, country roads are not good for fast silly drivers. Glad I had a good driver. When we got to the main street goodness I do not think I have ever seen so many cars, we went on the car park  which was no where near as crowded, amazing how no one likes to pay for parking!

The first call being the lovely fish and chip shop, such friendly people and of course one has to queue, but they are very fast serving, so yummy cod and chips with Adnams batter! then onto the beach to eat them, they were great , thanks Jan again…

We had a nice walk, sorry I could not make it as far as we meant to Jan but back was getting rather red…what a silly top to wear …

We had a lovely ice cream , thanks Jan! then tea for two at one of the hotels over looking the sea…

Who needs to fly out of the country when we have this near to where we live…

 Jan thank you for a great day out.

Sole Bay Band fun…

Well that turned out to be a great night again at the Sports Pavilion, listening to the Sole Bay Jazz Band performing for us all…

Not such a big crowd but a very appreciative one, and the band had a great time as well…

Always  a lot of talented playing from the band, who ever plays, but maybe even a little extra edge last night, it was so good to hear such a different selection of music, from six really great musicians…

They had to play without the amps, and it still sounded really good…

Thanks for a great night Sole Bay, lovely to meet up with friends, Heidi a quieter night for you, after last week maybe as well!

Sending get well soon to all those who are not feeling great, we do miss you when you cannot get to the jazz, a big hug for you June, hope the wrist soon gets better.

The Band nearly all wore blue, so a nice set of photos.
