A title from “The Boss” for today but if you change City for Country you will guess my thoughts about last week’s traumatic news. I do worry for the young people in this country because I’m sure we will become more inward looking and probably fairly irrelevant in the wider world. Enough of the doom and gloom but I am just settling down for the football. Surely we can beat Iceland, we can’t lose to a shop can we?

I had three lovely days Story Telling in Hereford last week for the National Literacy Trust. The Japanese story “The Man who loved Stories” is now firmly fixed in my repertoire.   I do enjoy finding and learning new stories.

I watched my David do the Dartmoor Challenge yesterday. We stood on Haytor  and cheered hundreds of bikes up! Proud Dad!

Today I did a 40 mile ride with quite a bit of climbing.
