Probably a good time to have Show of Hands angry song about bankers as the title as all these rich millionaire “Men of the People”  seem to be taking over the Western World. If you haven’t heard it listen to it, originally a response to the Banking Crisis but still resonates with us now.

I hope you have been enjoying this marvellous weather, frosts and spectacular sunsets. I had a delightful day birding with children from Grimsby yesterday at Wick Court and we saw some great birds. Earlier in the week I spent a great couple of hours watching a Peregrine although I was looking for Short Eared Owls.

I didn’t mention we saw Ian McEwan at Stroud Book Festival last week, he was really good and it has motivated me to read more of his recent books.

Story Telling tomorrow afternoon outside by the fire. I will make sure I am well wrapped up!
