Looking forward to Beer and Books tonight. Always a good evening with usually wide ranging discussions over a pint or two! We are discussing Waterland by Graham Swift. A tragic story located in the Fens.

I was with young people from Battersea bird watching today. They were thoroughly absorbed and had wonderful views of Goldfinches ( a Charm of 30+ birds and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Finally cricket, the Gloucestershire Old Men won convincingly yesterday- I sat with my pads on for a long time but wasn’t needed!
