Andy,
I’m so happy that you’re getting some much needed R&R!
After reading your delightful poem, I closed my eyes and attempted to envision myself at that Festival! 🎼 🎶
Super!!!
Happy Sunday!

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Ahhh PERSHORE WORCESTERSHIRE ! Great place for a Great Brass Band Festival ~ The Sound of Paradise ! I (BRIAN) played a BUGLE in the Scout Band ~ but never a TRUMPET ! Having been born & bred in Lancashire ~ Brass & Silver Bands were part of our Heritage !

Love & Blessing to YOU & JOYCE

Andy,
Joyce’s dementia IS sad...especially for you to witness every single day 24/7! So painful for you! She is blessed having you to take care of her! Take advantage of this week to take care of yourself! You deserve all the R&R you can get!
My love to Joyce and to you!

A sensitive write Gold.
A Christian \'faith-healer\' even had his own couple of ailments, plus one of his daughters had deafness. Yet God worked through him to bring healings and miracles to many.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks UNCLE ANDY for sharing FUR ELISE and salutary true story ! Beethoven himself was striken with deafness later in his LIFE ! ANGELA is a classical Pianist and she too brings out the Pathos in FUR ELISE ! Because she is a Masseuse she has a very dellicate touch and on a Decent Instrument (My DAD has a rosewood upright grand) she can do justice to Beethoven ! Music really is the Food of Love ! My Parents love ANGELA because she is a good Classical Pianist an Angela\'s Parents love me because I am a good Classical Guitarist as every Suitor for a Senorita should be ! Were our instruments reversed would have been the END of a Beautiful Romance (BROMA = JOKE ?)
When I did my Teacher Training Course (PGCE) the MANTRA was *If your Students havnt learned anything ~ then You havnt taught anything* That is especially true teaching ~ AUTOMOBILE SCIENCE ~ to a Class of reluctant Garage Mechanics ~ on a Friday afternoon in Summer Time ! The Workshop Tutor could swear and threaten them with a 12 inch spanner ! I had to use my charm ! To treat teaching as just child minding goes against all the principles of PEDAGOGY ! And to me really is ANATHAMA !
Blessings & peace to YOU & JOYCE

Isn\'t this a story for us all as we age my friend. We lose the things which have been a most important part of our life. Odd though that accompanying such losses is a learning about our selves and life itself... all this at a time when we are possibly most able to appreciate the lessons.

Yep, even in the cold war Sting voiced \"I hope the Russians love their children too\".... all of us everywhere are human with everyday needs and aspirations.
Though i do wonder if some of our multi-cultural comanions are quite as civilised as us english, scots, welsh and irish.

Good Morning UNCLE ANDY : Nearly midnight here (NZ) just trawling MPS before I *hit the sack* (I love colloquialisms) ! Love AKER BILK (great name) and SOTS in particular molto soothing and conjures up wonderful images of Me each night waiting for *Brians Boot ta cum in* (Im getting maudlin again). Love the POEM and the concept : I think its a JIM REEVES song that says *A Stranger is a Friend youve never met* I love all My Friends on MPS : You all make it come alive for Me ! Sometimes one meets *Strangers on the Shore* on Holiday and they become Friends who one emails and mutual visits etc. I now have over 100 Friends in NZ : so so awesome !
Please check our POEM on USA Independence : THANKS

Friends they may well turn out to be. When I look at someone I don\'t know I feel quite detached - almost indifferent until I think: they probably have loved ones just like me, they probably have the same feelings just as I do, they may have health issues or financial worries. In other words they are no different to any of us. They are real people and deserve the same courtesies and consideration as any of us. We are all much the same. Cripes I\'m getting all philosophical.

Yes all the lonely people and never moving around to meet others but sitting at home - such a sad state of affairs and perhaps a pen-friend club is the answer at first to encourage contact....... your verse spells out need without a doubt.

This is a very fine piece indeed Goldfinch.
There are those who choose the singleton way and are quite happy with it among the apparently lonely too.

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : ANGELA HERE 10pm and almost time for BED ! The MAORIS live in extended Families so in all the Maori Families I have visited in POOY NOOY (smell like a Kipps Apparatus H2S : Brian has an empty one in his Flat !) there were NO lonely ONES. In the UK Parents & GParents often live 100\'s of miles away from Children and in America they are thousands of miles apart. The answer is OLD PEOPLES HOMES but that is not the Solution they are some of the loneliest plces on Earth ! In the UK Brian & I live close to our folks and see them regularly ! Brian visits my PAPA for a glass of RIOJA and a chat : in SPANISH ! MAMA is also fluent ! Brain is good with Geriatrics (now he is Middle Aged - 35 !) and organises the SENIORS CLUB & SILVER SURFERS @ College. Love the MUSIC very soothing & soporific. Ive listened to the whole piece ~ while writing this comment and now I am asleep !
Blessings & lasting Peace & Joy to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Nobody ever visits a PHYSIO cos theyre LONELY but cos theyre DISJOINTED !
