2018 January - Kevin K.
​
Despite being the day before schools re-opening the highway drive to and from Kevins was blissfully uneventful.
The patchy cloud cover helped keep temperatures to the low 30's.
​
Once again there was a good turnout of about 30 people.
It was good to see more ladies than usual and lots of new faces.
Being a different geographical area may have had something to do with this.
​
With four music rooms, none ever felt crowded and everyone had a chance to experience different equipment.
There were a lot of things to see and hear at Kevins.
So please forgive me if I missed things :)

​
The ladies served up some yummy food from rissoles to rice and stew and curry.
It was nice to be able sit back and relax with a cuppa and chat while watching groups going between the rooms.
​
A big thank you to Kevin and his family for allowing us to sample the delights of their hill top retreat.
