Yesterday was a significant day for me. I resigned from the Band I played with just before Christmas but yesterday was the first rehearsal I missed. I have played with the Band for about 30 years apart from a break when my son was born. I agonised over the decision although I still really enjoyed the playing, the commitment, two practices a week plus engagements was just too much. There are of course many other contributory factors, Band politics etc. etc ... but I won't go into those on a public blog. I still have to hand in my uniform and instrument so before before I do I thought I'd take a picture for old times sake. I will miss the fantastic instrument but not the ridiculous jacket....
