Spent three hours today in the shade of a big oak tree in a picturesque park some 75 minutes from home. There was live music from a few soloists grouped together & from a properly-established local 3-piece band. The latter has an average age of almost 82. It was a gathering of Men’s Shed groups from all over the area, the 2nd time this informal event was held. I’d gone hoping to hear the 86-yr-old saxophonist, he was in splendid form this time too.
