I forgot to mention one of my highlights from our time away was seeing a Merlin fly past the hide with a poor Starling in its talons. Normally when I see a Merlin our smallest falcon it is quick and some way away. I did right a story many years ago playing with the bird and the magician which I may revisit at some point.

Had a lovely time looking after young Owen yesterday. It was all action!!!! After crawling all over the floor with him I certainly slept well afterwards!

I was pleased the mighty Hatters won on Tuesday night especially after being second best in the first half and a goal down. Was beginning to think it was going to be a repeat of Saturday’s game.
