Golden Week!

Hi, everybody!

What are you doing for your Golden Week break?

I hope you can enjoy your holiday!

The English Village is closing from 3rd of May to 10th of May.

See you after Golden Week! 

Neil’s Birthday Bash

Thanks to everyone who came to my (50th!! Bah!!) birthday “bash” last Saturday. I had a great time and I hope you all did too. I really enjoyed playing the songs that we performed for you, but I’m no virtuoso – as you must know too well. However, the other band members make up for my inability, so thanks to them too! They give me strength and are always an inspiration to play with, so I really hope we can go on making music together until we drop! It was also wonderful to hear Kitasan and Osozawasan playing so brilliantly – an absolute privilege, in fact. I could listen to them all day.

On the (50th!! Bah!!) birthday front, I’d also like to thank everyone who kindly gave me  presents. I was so touched. I’ve already consumed a number of them, but I’d like to feature the flowers presented to me by some of Mina’s Kaijin “senior” students. Not “senior” at all in my book – spring chickens, in fact, and a real pleasure to know. Anyway, they presented me with the most beautiful, sensational bouquet of flowers. The orange roses in particular were stunning. I’ve never seen anything like them before. Gorgeous! But the whole ensemble was something else! Mina did a great job arranging them in vases. Here are some photographs – taken on my recalcitrant mobile phone, but I hope they give you an idea!

Neil’s Birthday Live!

It was so enjoyable!!!!!!

いらして頂いた方々に、今までの中で一番良かった！とか、久々に笑えた！とか普段の嫌な事を忘れられた！など、とても嬉しいfeedbackを頂きました！

私達バンドメンバーも全員、かなり盛り上がり、その日はsecond partyは朝の4時半まで盛り上がってしまいました！

これからも、皆さんにThe English Villageに来て、楽しかった、嫌なことが忘れられたと言って頂けるようなinteresting placeにしようと思っています！

これから私達に期待するイベントなどありましたら、是非、何でもリクエストしてください！

My hairdresser’s friend

I went to her house tonight.

We just couldn’t stop laughing about the life we’ve been living, which has been dead busy for both of us.

Beacuse of that, we’ve both been so forgetful and scatterbrained!!!

I enjoyed talking to her. I hadn’t seen her for a couple of months but I want to see her sooner next time!!

Band Practice!!!

We practised for a long time last Satuday. In the end, we were so hungry I got some ready-to-eat ” Hanami dishes” which we enjoyed eating!

I’m sure we can give you a lot of pleasure and happiness on the 11th of April!

Please join us!

Long time no see!!!

先程、2年前に頻繁にカフェにいらして頂いてたお客様が赤ちゃんをお連れになっていらっしゃいました!!!

2年前にお引越しをしてしまって、カフェには来れなくなってしまったのですが、また、錦糸町に戻っていらしたそうです！

私は思わず、“Welcome back!!”

って言ってしまいました（笑）。。。

スコーンとハーブティーのセットをご堪能して頂きました。

ずっと、当店のスコーンを食べたかったっとおっしゃっていました！

凄く、すごーく嬉しいでーす！

Apple juice!

Our apple juice has been really popular!

Actually I really love it! I drink a glass of our apple juice every morning!

It tastes really delicious and healthy!

ここで、笑い話です。。。去年の夏のライブでミナターナーを演じた私。その写真をブログで見たキッズの生徒さんは、いまだに私をミナターナーと呼びます！

かなり強烈な印象だったのでしょう！（笑）
