Harry & I watched Elton John at Glastonbury last night.
Neither of us are Elton fans or have been drawn to festivals but I must say we enjoyed every minute of Elton’s show last night.
For a 76 year old to sing & play the piano for two hours like that was excellent plus his voice was still quite strong….we were impressed!
Out to lunch today with my friend Dot. Charlie’s grandma if anyone remembers.
It cost us almost £50……just a light lunch, a pudding & a G&T each…….it will be lunch at one if our houses next time! Can’t see eating out places doing well at that price…..the place was busy though.
A visit from Lydia tonight so late posting. So lovely to see her. Garth mowed the grass!
I've watched lots of Glastonbury , live and on the red button too. Elton was fabulous and I also said to Jane, his voice was very good for 76. I think the best way to appreciate Glastonbury is from the comfort of one's sofa :)
We watched part of Elton too....the crowds are terrifying even on screen!!!
He certainly is amazing for his age.
Then we turned over as Dunkirk on other side. 😊
We too watched a lot of Glastonbury this weekend! Elton was fab vocally, his mobility wasn’t brilliant, wasn’t sure he was going to make it when he walked or rather staggered on stage! I think there had been some changes in arrangement in some of the songs because he perhaps doesn’t have his full range anymore, but that said he was brilliant! I also rather liked the Cat Stevens set.
I was also surprised at the size of the place now, as can be seen by your aerial shot on the TV.
Good point re re used words Carol!
He was a bit stiff he moved & his trousers were bothering g him…. he looked his age a bit there!
120,000 the mind boggles.
We have always been a much more card sending nation than NZ maggie. I have noticed that very much from our time connected to NZ. We can send cards for any occasion now although the postage will effect that more & more.
I love a card more than a present! @maggiemae
Glastonbury is big in the UK Julz.
They had brilliant weather this year. Sometimes it’s very wet but hot this year!
Best place to watch on Tv unless you’re young! 🤣🤣🤣
What a lovely homely scene. I never watched any of G, but I knew that Elton would be brilliant. He's quite amazing, and you're right, his voice is still strong.
I watched Elton on iPlayer yesterday. Absolutely brilliant set and his songs were always so much a part of my youth. So impressed with him and a great and fitting musical send off for him.
