The Singers Tale - Creativity & Ageing - Blues. A scrapbook of Blue Memories. From London to Folkestone with places on the run through life.

Songs and places on the run. Memories all around my blue world.

Blues can make you cry. Sometimes.

Mood Indigo. Ellington.

You ain’t been blue, no no no.

You ain’t been blue,

‘till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.

That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes.

While I sit and sigh,

go long blues.

Always get that Mood Indigo,

since my baby said goodbye.

In the evening when lights are low,

I’m so lonesome I could cry.

‘cause there’s nobody who cares about me,

I’m just a soul who’s bluer than blue can be.

When I get that Mood Indigo,

I could lay me down and die.

Blue is the colour of Sky and Sea. Bluebells and Blue Tits. Old and faded Blue Denim Jeans & a Blue & White Breton Striped T shirt, a blue Bandana. A beloved blue jug, the blue and white Cornish & Delft ware. Willow pattern, old white enamel with blue trim, bowls, plates and mugs. I love all of those Blues. ‘Lavenders blue dilly dilly….’

Indigo blue as the afternoon dips through dusk into night. Mood Indigo. The colour sings Blue. Delphinium, Larkspur, Wisteria, Bellflowers and Forget me not. Blue Lobelia glowing at dusk. Chefchaouen in Morocco. A city painted Blue. Blue Monet, Chagall blues. Blue Van Gogh, painting himself in Blues. Glorious Blues.

‘Come on in my Kitchen, its bound to be raining outside.’

Threads I wore in the 1960s .. Still in my wardrobe….

Beautiful blue world.

Blue is the colour of my son’s eyes. Alice in Wonderland wearing a blue dress. Paddington Bear a Blue Duffel Coat. All shades of blue run through rivers and lakes, brooks and streams. Blue is a colour painted in my dreams. Bountiful, life-full Blue.

Notting Hill Blues The Grove Blues. I lived in what was known as The Grove. Westbourne and Ladbroke Grove Straddling Portobello Road. I loved my community there.

With Beloved Dee,Ruben Hollingsworth standing next to me, 3rd from Left. RIP.

Bits of my clothes, often bought down on The Market.

I have worn a blue Levi Jacket for my ever.
