Good morning Jazzers…

 Good morning all…a day late for the Thursday blog… sorry have been rather busy…

JUST HEARD FROM ALAN, ALL IS OK FOR MONDAY NIGHT, ENJOY.

These just arrived on FB memories …those were the days…or rather nights…6 years ago.




The gig on Monday is still on, I hope, perhaps  someone in charge will let me know.

The reason of worry is that The Geldeston Locks has had to close at the moment, as staff have tested positive to Covid. now the Band did an outside gig there, but Monday night will be inside. however as far as I know it will go ahead. But please take care. I am not meaning to put anyone off because they need to get the gigs started again. Hopefully all will be well. If I hear anything more I will put it on here and the FB page.

Some photos that turned up on Face Book Memories… so will pop them on here. Plus Alistair is still going round the country on his NHS tour.

So here is hoping for a great evening of live music again...

Good morning Jazzers…

 Good morning one and all, I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine, although the heat has been rather humid, and not always comfortable…also the garden has been proving rather full of nasty things that bite!!! As have never had much problem with bites and stings before …this year has been for me and many others an itchy time! had to give in and go to Pharmacy for advice because I had some bad reactions to some of them, and as my garden is really my life at the moment,  it has been hard.

I do remember when Fudge got her Hornet bites wow they were bad…

The 2nd of August, as far as I know is still going on,  live music with the Sole Bay at Ditchingham,  so wish everyone a really great night, unfortunately I am not yet able to come along, this past few months have been rather hard and has affected me more than I thought it could, so am gradually getting myself as fit as I can and hopefully will be able to get back to a bit of normality soon.

I must admit music does help, and Alistair Griffin has been doing his lockdown tour of the country so can watch that on face book …although many people shun FB …it has been a godsend to many of us fans, to be able to listen to the music while chatting to friends has helped all  of us. 

I do hope this being a hermit will soon pass and I will be back amongst people again. Thank you to all who have been cheering me up.

I had a couple of Face Book Memories pop up from 6 years ago, so enjoy them.

I do hope Neil will pass the news on so can keep up the blog…(Hint Neil)

The Locks Inn

 Thanks to Neil who has been great and managed to write a piece for the blog about last evening…

So pleased it seems to have gone well, just hope those seats had dried out from Monday when Duncan and I popped down in the pouring rain!!!

Neil always saves the day for me will pop on his write up…Sorry I cannot get it any bigger. Also sorry cannot type it out at the moment as got bitten or stung on Tuesday and a very sore arm, I was assured it should get better in a week but then supposed to see a Dr which in this area is a hard job nowadays, so taking it easy and staying out of the garden for a while!!!


He said Tony you may have some you took on your camera but expect they will go on Sole Bay Face Book.

But these look great to me, and what a lovely evening it turned out to be the sun started to shine during the afternoon, so pleased.

2nd August at Ditchingham sounding good. stay safe everyone and thanks again Neil. x
