Had two Christmas events today, the writers group that I go to had it's Christmas fuddle today, as it was the last day of term. Lots of members "read out" their own work, it is all very impressive, and I feel quite overawed how elequent, creative and inventive they all are. I am the new girl in the group, so I have a lot to aspire to. After the reading out, we all shared the food that we had brought, as we discussed what we hoped to get out of the next Term. The decision seemed to be play reading, writing and discussion of plays. That will be interesting. I don't think I am all that confident about being "dramatic" in public.
My evening event was my Gardening Club, when I saw the organiser on Sunday, he said that I could expect a surprise on Wednesday. I did get a surprise, he had invited a small section of a Salvation Army Brass Band to play for us. The room we use for our Club is very small, for health and safety reasons it caan only hold 45 people. The Band was a 4 man section! Any more and we would have been blasted into orbit. The sound that even 4 men can made is overwhelming. While the men played Carols, we drank mulled wine and ate mince pies. It has been a lovely evening, my kind of gardening.
One of our lady members will have her 99th birthday before we meet again, the band played Happy Birthday and we all sang for her. She was very touched. The band being there really pleased her.
My Christmas has started, I sang along with the band, it can all happen now!
