I led my intrepid team to Somerset yesterday to play what is usually a keenly contested cricket match- sadly this one wasn’t1 I won the toss and inserted them on a green pitch and then watched them amass over 300 runs- several dropped catches of the highest scoring batsmen didn’t help! We didn’t get anywhere near! Still I have Friday’s game against the Aussies to look forward to.

I returned to Wick Court today to take young people from Southwark bird watching. Nothing out of the ordinary but they were fascinated when I told them about swifts  ( we saw a few) staying in the air for two or three years! I am Story Telling there tomorrow night and again at the open day on Sunday. Wick Court is a Farm for City Children and children spend a week on the farm- poster below and all are welcome!

I am performing at another open day the following Saturday for GL11.
