On Saturday

starting some new players on their musical journey at this morning's lively band practice

*

lunching with Julie and three of her daughters ... to celebrate Julie's birthday

*

enjoying the autumnal weather ... a misty start to the day, followed by beautiful sunshine

*

appreciating the opportunities that are opening up for me as people get to hear that I am retiring from work ... and feeling excited about the future!

*

getting my camera equipment ready for a photo walk with friends tomorrow afternoon
