Good morning folks - I have been introduced to this website by an old friend from a previous (but now defunct) online group for Seniors, and am pleased to find this one!
I am a reasonably fit and happy "close to 70" lass; married; one husband; one stepson and that is really my family now (I was an only child of 2 only children, so no direct cousins etc and in any case most of my relatives have either "dropped off their perches" or are very unwell I assume 'cos they only write at Christmas and birthdays!
So, as my family is limited, since I retired I have taken on "secretaryships" with no less than 4 organisations, "chair" of one and "membership secretary" of another - it really keeps me busy and glued to my computer.......
I enjoy classical music - in fact I used to be a professional oboe player and teacher until my late '20s (wow, all that time ago!). My husband very generously paid for a 2nd hand oboe for my birthday, and I am trying to practice every day. It was amazing that I hadn't forgot anything and am playing reasonably well!
Anyone else keen on playing classical music out there?? Do you belong to an orchestra or was that difficult to find one.......
I look forward to hearing from some of you.........
Keep well and keep smiling!
