I think I mentioned previously that we have been going with another couple from the park to enjoy an evening with the Nanaimo Song Writers Circle. There are usually 10 or 12 of them, and they take turns singing and playing their music. The instruments are as varied as the performers, from 6 to 12 string guitars, banjo, mandolin, piano to haunting flutes. They play mainly for their own enjoyment but we, the only audience, enjoy the music and the banter between them.
For a change of pace, 8 or 10 of us from the park volunteer at The Farm at Cedar Point. It is a small 26 acre farm where mentally challenged people, mostly young adults go for a days outing. Our "chores" last week were from picking stones from a newly cleared field to pulling nails from recycled boards. The work was taxing in a physical way, but the fun we had was worth it. Besides they fed us a wonderful chicken al king lunch. The animals there are for the pleasure of the visiting young people; goats, Lamas, donkeys and the usual chickens,ducks etc.
