Voyages and dreams

The folk'n'jazz summer concerts have developed as the years have passed and a lot of preparation goes into making sure they are successful. June , July and August concerts use outside venues and  the expected audience is hopefully swelled by the  "swallows" and other tourists in the area. Each month a significant sum is raised for a charity chosen by the host venue. These days the majority of the performers are French, ranging in age from 39 to 80 plus so folk it isn't , jazz it isn't but interesting and varied it certainly is.

This month the theme is " voyages and dreams", as our usual practice venue was not available  everyone came here. A voyage for everyone else and a dream of an evening for me - 17 people around the table ( more than I would have thought possible), lots of good food and wine, music being played in all corners of the garden  AND the weather did not spoil it despite threats of rain earlier in the day.

It was the sort of party I have dreamt of having since we came here - oops - sorry that should read rehearsal not party of course! In fact everyone did work hard too but it was such a lovely evening. We are so lucky to be living our dream and thanks to the music and dancing our social life keeps getting better and better.
