Well not really but I did do a gig in the early evening at Hartpury last night. A lovely school and they were doing a special evening for parents and children to encourage writing. Tony the Head is an ex pupil of mine (how old does that make me!) and a wonderful charismatic Head. I did my Harriet the Hippo story-a very visual story and appeals to all ages. I must try to tidy it up and look to get it illustrated. I didn’t cycle because I wasn’t confident about the road in the dark and I had a meeting beforehand.

My dream story continues to evolve. Hopefully over the next month I may have it finished.

I went looking for starling murmurations on Tuesday but only saw small groups the biggest about 50 birds. Will try again over the next couple of weeks. Have seen a male sparrowhawk around the garden a couple of times this week and the tawnys are very vocal at night.
