Annette and I attended a Concert at the Church of The Holy Sepulchre in Northampton given by The Band of the Army Air Corps. As some of you know we both enjoy Brass Bands, and this evening was no exception. The evening was warm the music was superb and the whole evening was a pure delight. If you like good Brass Band Music why book some tickets and go the "The Proms" as detailed in the above forthcoming events.

Annette and I went on a York’s Coach day-out to Heartbeat Country
Leaving Northampton at 7-30am we made our way via the motorway to the Yorkshire town of Pickering, there spending just over an hour looking around the Church and the town centre, not forgetting to get some lunch.
At 1-00pm we boarded the train for the 40 minute journey to Goathland (what we now as Aidensfield) where Heartbeat was filmed.
The weather was terrible it poured with rain, the wind howled, and it was very cold.
We had coffee in the Aidensfield Arms, look round Bernie Scripps Garage and the village green, we thought it was November the weather was so bad.
The coach then took us to Whitby and guess what, the weather got worse,
The wind blew more strongly, the rain came down even harder and it was cold.
But we had a very short walk around the harbour and then to a small restraunt for a fish and chip meal, it was lovely.
Then back to the coach and the 200 mile journey home, arriving in Northampton just after 9-00pm.
A good day was had by all, and Yorks Coaches do some nice days out.

On a sunny and warm afternoon Annette and I where privileged to attend the Royal British Legion (Northampton Branch) National Armed Forces Veterans Memorial Service held in Towcester Road Cemetery, Northampton.
It was a very moving service led by Reverend David Wiseman when 118 service men and women from Northampton from 1946 to 2009 are remembered by name. I was asked to lead the singing.
The Exhortation was read by Mr.Joe Heffernen (President of the Northampton Branch of the Royal British Legion). The Kohima Eptitah was read by Mrs.Dawn Sheppard (Chairman of the Northampton Branch of the Royal British Legion)
