Morning All…

 Good morning Jazzers and all…I do hope everyone is keeping to the rules so that soon we will be able to get back to some sort of normality.

Who knows when the jazz will be live again but lots of things going on to try and start as soon as they can.

Been lovely this week had some great  visitors what a treat to actually see people in the garden, because the weather improved. Or was it too hot too soon? ha ha never satisfied. Thank you to one and all, so strange after being on my own so much as a lot of you have been as well.

Thank goodness have managed to get some gardening done… glad the bin man managed to move my green bin  to empty because it took me ages to drag it to the end of the drive!!!

Also managed to get myself down town and do some much needed shopping like watch battery! not had watch going for over a year…whatever happened to winding watches! special bath foam from the health shop etc…Not happy with car park ticket machine thank goodness one of my friends told me that 30 minutes free did not mean no ticket, so quickly went back to machine and put the car number in got ticket and put in car phew.

Just a few random photos…Enjoy…

Birthday wishes to anyone who has one of those this week…

Pipers…remember that floor and wallpaper!

Morning Bloggers and Jazzers…

 Good morning all …this is Friday not Thursday, but felt as not many look in to blog nowadays, and have not heard anything this week from the band members with any jazz news…decided to get out in the garden again instead…

Messages from Clover, Jan and Neil to wonder what has happened to me ha ha, so thanks to one and all …Whoops now got e mail from Christine as well…thank you Neil for some random photos and FB for sending a memory from 7 , and 4 years ago…with a few from the garden will pop them on…

Hope everyone is staying safe and keeping distance still, many people seem to have gone back to 'normal' what ever that is according to the TV people in and out of the country and lots on the beaches, while I am still trying to make myself get out to the little co-op shop, the old arthritis has stopped me from walking much, and the high heels are packed ready for the bin sadly. And all the floaty clothes for Jazz are in the bags ready for charity! 

Luckily the garden is keeping me busy, have some help there,  for which I am grateful, but everyday there is  lots to be done,  good job I love it,  even if the knees back and head do not. It has been so good to have the sunshine. All the little plants I have grown are now in the beds, mmm will they survive! will have to wait and see, mine is mostly a wild garden that the bees butterflies and birds like,  I will not use weedkiller so therefore the weeds and I have a fight daily!!!!!

Thanks for phone call xx Happy Birthday to Duncan for Sunday xxxx

Stay safe one and all, maybe one day we will be meeting again…Keep Jazzing…enjoy the random photos…

Thursday Again!

 Good morning Jazzers… I really find it hard to believe that time goes so fast, Thursday has come around again… no jazz…BUT… one feels that we will soon be able to have live music again, as long as people do not go mad and mix too much without taking care, life may get a little bit back to normal.

I did phone Roy last week after his birthday, unfortunately he has been rather unwell,  so Hurry up and feel better Roy x

Wishing Happy Birthday …either belated or coming up to one and all.

I hope you are all staying safe… nice to hear from some of you, feel like I have become a hermit, I am sure I will soon get myself going out again as must take JJ to see Rosemary who thank goodness is getting better after her op.  I did pop down to see JJ for her birthday, so we had a good natter… Jan  and me have been meeting up again which is good. Have been trying to keep up with life, and with help (thanks Craig) have been gardening, my memories on FB today have shown me that my Aquilegia that were John's  favourite have decided to hide compared to this 6 year old photo, so as soon as I dare venture to the garden centre will try to get more.


Thanks Neil for sending me some photos nice to see the ladies, 2018 seems to have been a fun time!

Next photo I have is of June and Les,  (borrowed) Congratulations to them for this past week they celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary… lovely couple… missing their Jazz as well. Hope to meet up soon.



Some from Neil now…

Lots of memories there.


Not sure what this is Neil maybe another caption to guess! Moody Sunset!






one from FB on memories 5 years…

So fingers crossed we may soon have news of some live music. Alan is certainly trying to get it sorted.

Sadly will not be having young Derek playing for us, as he has retired a nice piece in EDP Roy said he has passed his instruments on, cannot imagine how that would feel, so Happy retirement Derek.

Stay safe one and all…

Thursday again…

 Another week gone by Jazzers…Hope it has been a good one for you all…

Lots of aches and pains here, the brain wants to move more but the body objects!!!! Do not think this horrible virus has done any of us any good, even though I am so lucky to have my garden, I must admit to not going out as much as I should in the past year, so have become a hermit, then if I chat to someone on the phone cannot stop the talking which is a good way to lose friends!!!Ha ha…

Right …Neil has sent a lovely couple of nature photos… and I have found a few giggle ones to enjoy.

Alan is in touch with Jon at Ditchingham so maybe some good news in the near future if this variant does not come too close.

It was Clovers Birthday during the week… and Roy's this weekend and Happy Birthday to those who are celebrating  this month…

Clover did say some sad news from one of our pals, we called him 'Oxygen John', him and his wife used to sit near us at the front. Brave man.

Thanks to all who have been in touch, sorry if I do not always contact people, apart from on here, but I do rise rather early then realise other people may not be up… then promptly forget to ring later in the day how about that for an excuse!!!!

Stay safe everyone enjoy the photos…

4 years a memory from Face Book.

Good morning Jazzers

 Thursday has come around again with no jazz tonight… but wait…is that a glimmer of hope I hear about starting up again? fingers crossed.

In the meantime, luckily Terry and Jenny have found a couple of oldie giggle photos and one of their first crop of strawberries which has my mouth watering…

Lots of birthdays this month so Happy Birthday to one and all who are May babies.

Stay safe…Miss you all…
