Well I did reach a significant age yesterday! I had a wonderful day with lots of lovely messages, cards and presents. I spent the day with my lovely grandsons (and their parents and of course Clare) going for a smashing walk on Rodborough Common followed by an ice-cream of course. We then adjourned to Stroud Brewery for lunch and of course a beer or two. It was followed by playing and tea and birthday cake at our house.

Today we shot up to Birmingham to watch the Mighty Hatters at Villa Park. Sadly it was no birthday treat for me as we were well and truly beaten. I think they were the best footballing side I have seen this season and it was the first time we have been completely outplayed.

A busy week ahead on the Story Telling front.
