Some close-ups of a good friends saxophone, a beautiful instrument. I’m not so much a fan of shiny, brand-spanking new looking instruments, though I suppose they all start off that way. This one looks like it’s been played and loved for many years, I like that.
The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I’m more interested in music.

Happy weekends are becoming fairly common experiences at the moment – last weekend a big group went up to Dent, in North Yorkshire, for a relaxing weekend of swimming, eating, chatting, meditating, walking, waterfalls… the good things in life! My favourite in this set is the last one, of our friend John climbing back down a waterfall he’d scaled.
But wait a second – I’ve just realised how long it’s been since I posted! Here are some photos from Greenbelt, a big lovely arts festival held on Cheltenham Race Course. The big musical highlight was 72 year old Mavis Staples – “No I won’t turn around!” – but Harry Bird and the Rubber Wellies were an unexpected surprise as well, I love it when a band makes you smile just because they’re smiling so much.
In peace.
