I was initially struggling for today’s title and theme. However, the “exercise” slot has previously given me inspiration and today is no exception! Delightful walk around our beautiful village and I was dropping off the Wren biography ( I have just finished reading) to a friend when the idea came to me. The Wren is of course a tiny bird (not the smallest UK bird of course) so today’s quiz at the end of this blog is the Smallest!

I have at last managed to knuckle down to some writing over the last couple of days. I am currently working on a story based on a Gloucestershire Legend, it is fairly raw at the moment and will need several redrafts  but it has potential and it is  developing. Watch this space! I also need to start rewriting last year’s Two Severn Bores script on the River Severn.

Today’s “Small” Quiz

(I often tell the young people at Wick Court this fact)   5) What is the smallest whale in the world?   Good Luck!!!!

Just to finish I have to mention the sad death of Raddy Antic. Raddy (a Serbian) was an outstanding footballer and manager (the only person to manage the three big giants of Spanish football). For all Luton Town  fans he will always be remembered for “that goal” at Manchester City one of our legendary moments! COYH!
