I have had so many soakings over the last month either on my bike or doing bird surveys that I have noticed my feet are now webbed! Seriously it does seem to be the wettest Winter ever!

I am entering my busiest time of the year with World Book Day looming. I am visiting quite a few schools all over the country to tell stories, as well as another Two Severn Bores Gig in Bristol at the end of the month (this one is at Folk Tales). The days in schools are full on as I tell stories to every year group as well as a whole school story so it often 8 plus stories to tell during a day. By the end of the month I would have told at least 30 different stories during March. I have to be careful to manage my voice through this time. I have had a good spell writing in the last fortnight but that is going to slow down with the Story Telling with all the preparation etc.

I slipped and slid my way on the slopes near Dursley on Saturday morning to do my last Winter Bird Square Survey. I was exhausted afterwards!

Tonight I am playing indoor cricket maybe to get an early taste of summer?
