No don’t be alarmed it is not some Martian invasion or the Roman God of War  bearing down on us.  No it is just the last time Mars was so close to us here on Earth was fifteen years ago. I did notice it was bright in the night sky last week so later tonight I am taking my telescope out to have a good view-if I see Martian spaceships coming our way I will blog about it tomorrow  -not sure how  they would cope with the virus though! I think for my sanity it is important to experience and enjoy the natural things around us.

Had a lovely ride today with the Old Groynes cycling group (there are four of us who have undertaken many long distance cycling adventures over the years). The trees in the Cotswold Valleys were decked in their autumn colours,  looking especially beautiful from the hill tops.

As I write this I am enjoying listening to the music of Show of Hands. I do hope that we will be able to see live performance of music, theatre again in the not to distant future; and of course Story Tellers!!!!
