Mandolins, Mum and Magpies

Went to a Gallery opening yesterday, called The Magpies, in honour of the women all exhibiting who termed themselves Magpies, after those cocky black birds from Aussie that love collecting. Bought a bag from Barbara, the woman third from the right.
And Friday night was all about my Mum and her Mandolinata Orchestra - celebrating 40 years of playing. I think it was the last time Mum intended to get her Mandolin out and play with a group so a bit of a special event. That's her in the purple blouse surrounded by friends.
Helen and I, above, and Dad, Helen and Liam below, all came as support.
Lovely night and I think they all enjoyed themselves.
