It was Book Club this week we discussed Madame Bovary a real mix of opinions. We also drew up our programme for 2012-13 including a poetry evening with my brother Mike performing in the pub! My suggestion of the Song of Achilles might have to wait for next year.

Great day watching the Tour in Caerphilly on the mountain. Great crowd great views and I took some decent photos we were so close to the riders I could have touched them! Met Mike and Carla afterwards.

Enjoying watching BBC 4 at the moment with a programme dedicated to Fairport Convention. it takes me back to my formative years at Hitchin Folk Club where the resident group always finished with Meet on the Ledge. “Where does the time go” with the wonderful magical voice of Sandy Denny is in my top 5 of all time songs.

Tomorrow it is off to watch the mighty Hatters!
