I thought the John Lennon classic would be a good title. It is a sad and angry world at the moment so I wanted something optimistic and about a better world! I am really just a hopeless sentimental romantic!!!

Good news I’ve finished my initial tidy up of my story so getting close to doing the next stage. So momentum will slow now for a while. The other bit of good news from Dan the other half of Two Severn Bores is the podcast is getting closer to being finished-surprised me to hear that because I thought I had to re-record a section! He tells me it can be sorted by technological wizardry! So watch this space-I will post a link when it is ready so I hope dear reader you will listen to it and perhaps share it with friends!

I hope you managed to see the Golden Valley near Stroud on Springwatch-a beautiful valley.
