This blog would of been written yesterday if Storm Francis hadn’t struck and our area of Frampton had a power cut-it lasted for twelve hours! We don’t have gas in Frampton so it is quite a handicap as it got dark. We did have a visitor in the garden that some of our birds might of worried about! It stayed for a while and allowed met to take loads of photos!

I did record my Harriet the Hippo  story yesterday for the library service -this will probably be the last one of the summer-still struggling to transfer the story-need to find a better way in the future. Might be third time lucky later.

On a positive note Dan the other half of Two Severn Bores took part in a prestigious gig on Sunday night from that excellent venue St Georges in Bristol. He is aiming to work with me in the near future on finalising the podcast we recorded earlier in the year. Hopefully there will be news on this soon.
