Tentatively stepping into a new era.
Useful youthful employment a distant memory.
Agility just a letter or two away from fragility.
Observing a whirlwind world of challenges.
Reading the writings of bewildered watchers-on.
A trombone time of loud noise, but no music.
An orchestra of opportunities, but no conductor.
Time to discover the counterpoint !

dear oh! dear, blowing ones own trumpet, or horn instrument, these days one just needs a ‘puff or two’?
Maybe the music is a ‘fart or 2’ with that sweet breath of fresh smells, it is bringing back all those memories?
Are we all becoming bags of old wind? I wonder???
Success, suck lemons, I remember that Horn player from years ago; Humphry Littleton as he led his Band in playing that joyous tune ”Cherry Blossom, and, Apple pink: Great to just listen too, and dance a couple of steps with a fair lady of ones choice!!!! Great!!!
It is ”Cherry Pink and apple blossom white??”
IT is all in the breeze these days as time flies, and I just sit back in my chair, supposedly relaxing? can I move, yes for a motion? to answer the door, I am undecided as life takes its toll, and my physical body is becoming more achy and painny?

“Little Boy Blue” Lyrics. Little Boy Blue come blow your horn, The sheep’s in the meadow the cow’s in the corn. But where’s the boy who looks after the sheep? He’s under a haystack fast asleep. Will you wake him? No, not I – for if I do, he’s sure to cry.
Age, old age, just fleeting memories of being young, without a care in the world, except ‘LOVE’ for ones nearest and dearest!!!!!

What a day Saturday 6Th, June 2023. Dressed to respect authority, listen to ‘GOD SAVE THE KING’, Tie next to be done is to relax in my deck chair/arm chair and pass through my mind all the tunes of the ‘BRASS and Silver’ bands , of my life time! Listening to some stirring marching tune {Heats of OAK, Men of Harlech and many more] . Not forgetting the Band of the Royal Marines. Then the local band playing ‘ON Ikley moor bahtat’, While I remember my scouting days as a boy, camping, hiking singing ‘Airedaling’ to the tune of Waltzing Matilda’ Wonderful. Then 5 minutes with Mum and dad, and the Salay Army Brass Band, and their many tunes, including ‘What a friend we have in Jesus’. A cup of tea, and a little shut eye!!! What a start to the coronation year of KING Charles=’God bless him’ and ‘US’ ALL.
Coronation day 6 th May, please excuse the error, Sorry apologises. David.
I trust all of us, every one of us, can enjoy tomorrows coronation; both young and old, and drift into tomorrow evening full of happiness, renewing our wishes for the KING and all our own families, as part of the nation.
