Today’s title refers to stories. Over the years I have written many stories and quite a few of these just disappear into the mists of time. However, occasionally I find them again for a whole host of reasons and enjoy being reacquainted with them. Today I found a story I wrote when I first retired from teaching which itself was a reworking of a story I wrote when my boys were at Primary School. The theme was magic long before a certain wizard with a scar on his forehead appeared. I think that was the reason why I eventually left it was because I thought the world might have had enough of wizards! Well having looked at it I have decided to do some tidying up of the story over the coming weeks. It does have environmental and co-operation themes running through it.

I also enjoy coming across stories that I have learnt  told over the years and put to one side. One was a Norse Folk Tale I frequently I told and have neglected in the last two years. I retold it on my recent school visit.

I had an unsuccessful look for Spring Migrants early this morning but the River Severn at low tide looked beautiful. The first picture below is looking down the River to Sharpness and the second one is looking across to South of Frampton you can just make out the spire of Slimbridge Church and you can see the edge of Dursley on the hill in the distance. (the quality of the picture loses something as I insert it into the blog so on the original the church is much clearer than in this reproduction!)

Disappointed by the performance of my football team yesterday. I do want them to finish the season well. Who knows if I will be able to go in person next season? I have tickets for  cricket this summer but not sure if that will happen.
