Grannies up for a gig

In the hall is a great mound of things; candles in hurricane lamps, cushions, crisps, table covers, plants in gold-coloured pots and black tissue paper, there are dog beds and dog food and a suitcase and a rather trendy black top hanging on a hanger.
So, where do you think this Granny and Grandpa are off to today?  Would you believe it if I told you that we are putting on a gig!  6 different acts from young and moderately young and not so young performers at the 20th Century Theatre in Notting Hill Gate this very Remembrance Day evening.  We feel so trendy but even in all the excitement of packing all this in the van and explaining to the dogs that London is not like Cambridgeshire, we have remembered to meditate.  And this is why; we are oldish and we have realised that all the merry days and even the dreadful days only last so long. Our still fairly active limbs will only keep going as long as they can so to avoid the moment when we can't climb into a van and head off wherever we want, we spend an hour a day getting familiar with the unmoving and unchanging so it shouldn't be so difficult to leave behind  the things we have identified ourselves with when the time comes.
In the meantime however, pack in as much joy as you can and share it so it doubles and trebles and multiplies.  And if you are in the vicinity of Westbourne Grove, London today at 7.00 pm with £10 in your pocket and you have read this, come and feel FREE to FLY https://free-to-fly.eventbrite.co.uk.  There are still tickets available on the door.
