Blinded by the Light

Went to see the film of today’s title on Friday. Delightful feel good type of film featuring songs of The Boss (Springsteen) and the Town of my football team Luton. Obviously recognised locations and the music! The racism in the film reminded me of my growing up about 15 years before the time of the film. I had many friends from ethnic backgrounds and it was painful to witness what they went through. I remember us running for our lives on a couple of occasions from a  groups of skinheads out to attack anyone that was different.

Talking of Luton I went to watch them at Cardiff on Saturday, I went by train and thoroughly enjoyed the journey down by the Severn being on the other side from home! The football was going well and looked like we had earned a well deserved point until the 95th minute sucker punch!!!

We were pleased to see a Nuthatch in the garden last week you don’t see many in Frampton. A beautiful male Sparrowhawk was sitting on our fence yesterday. All the garden birds had dived for cover.

I met my fellow Two Severn Bores collaborator last week to plan our theme for 2020 gigs. So now have to get down to writing!

Training hard for next month’s cycling adventure through Wales.
