Another Story Telling in the wood smoke at Wick Court today. I have quite a few bookings for March so may need to pace myself!

I have had quite a social spell over the last few days seeing old friends. I have been clocking up the miles on the bike. I may have got up to 500 miles already for the year and been doing more climbs over the last fortnight. Today’s ride which was to a meeting promoting Hill, Valley and Vale Children’s Centre. On my way back I saw a Dipper, Grey Wagtail and a Water Vole so we almost get Bob Marley’s title covered. The Dipper is a favourite of mine because it was seeing a Dipper when I first came to Gloucestershire that sparked my interest in birds.

I was very disappointed watching the mighty Hatters on Tuesday night. We should have been out of sight by Half time without playing well and then managed to go 2-0 down. We pulled the goals back but the referee spoilt the game and we ended up with a frustrating draw. We picked up several injuries as well so maybe I will need to take my boots on Saturday.
