Obvious song title when I am going to mention Book Club! Tomorrow we meet for one of our research meals. The book we will be discussing in February is “His Bloody Project” by Graeme Macrae Burnet is was short listed for last year’s Booker. So the theme is a Scottish Meal as the book is set in the Highlands of Scotland. I am doing a fish soup called Cullen Skink. I haven’t quite finished the book so I won’t make a comment till I have got to the end.

Yesterday I took part in a Gull count for the WWT. Over three thousand Gulls went over where I was standing by the Severn in the two hours from 3 p.m. and dark. I also have the bird survey on the Frampton Estate later this week.

I am trying out a new story on Thursday, so busy learning it at the moment.
