My last blog I posted just before going to Story Tell at Wick Court to old friends from Old Oak. I did visit their school a couple of years ago and have taken them bird watching and told stories to them for a number of years. Imagine all our surprise when I bumped into them on Friday morning at Reading Services; not sure who was stalking who!

Clare and I spent the weekend in deepest Kent. It included some lovely walks and bird watching. Also saw the Hatters win at Gillingham in a physical encounter and it stopped us playing our free flowing football.

Now in back in Gloucestershire so managed to fix a puncture, do quite a bit of leaf clearing and 23 miles on the bike today. Now learning my story for next Wednesday’s Beer and Books gig in the Three Horseshoes. Feel free to join us for our now traditional old fashioned pub entertainment-we start at 8 p.m.
