I had a delightful time with old friends from Ashmead Primary School Aylesbury this week. The young people really enjoyed the bird watching and we were all amazed they spotted 28 species. I managed to get a Chiffchaff for them to see in the scope- we also saw a few summer migrants. Last night I told them my old favourite Russian folk tale trick story – it is a good story and I do ham it up! The picture below is me telling that story a few years ago.

We are off to see Johnny Coppin tonight in Frampton Church. Tomorrow could be a sadly significant day for the Mighty Hatters – it could be all over! Of course I shall go with hope!
