Apologies for a couple of days with no blog. We hurtled back from Exeter yesterday to rush out to Cheltenham for our first visit to this year’s Literature Festival. We have been going on and off since our children were quite small. Over the years we have seen some brilliant authors, people from sport, politics and TV. Last night we saw five Story Tellers in discussion about Myths, Legends and Folklore. I took Clare tonight to see Mick Herron while I visited the Book shop. On Sunday we are booked to listen to Natalie Haynes (Comedian  and Author) who often takes a different perspective on the Greek Myths often with a feminist point of view. I am also going to a political discussion on Thursday (hoping to cycle there!)

In other news the Osprey has still been here in Frampton it has been here nearly a fortnight now. I have heard Redwings and Fieldfares are now arriving locally.
