A busy week for me wearing my voluntary hat. Several visits on HVV business finishing with all day Friday. Tomorrow I am cycling up the long hill to the Parliament Centre.

On Monday afternoon I did my usual bird watching at Wick Court. The children are from the Charles Dickens School London. Despite the wet weather I don’t think I ever met a group of children who were so full of questions in their desire to extend their knowledge. I hardly had time to breath. Their enthusiasm and passion for learning was delightful. I don’t think any of them were called Pip or Estelle!

Big breakthrough on the local front I have managed to get access to the 100 Acre Viewing Platform (great for birds and in the Spring boxing Hares). I’ve now got to raise funding for two kissing gates to make this happen. Any contributions from bird watchers or local walkers welcome!

Hope to blog again Friday or Saturday morning.
