My goodness what an afternoon and early evening here. Torrential downpours that have been unrelenting! Once more the M5 near Bristol has flooded causing traffic chaos in our part of Gloucestershire. Quite a bit of localised standing water all around Frampton! I got a bit of a soaking this morning on my bike when the rain wasn’t so heavy (almost feel nostalgic for this morning!)  I had cycled to see Wild Acres where I have an outdoor gig later this month. Despite the weather really enjoyed seeing the place (will write more on this gig in future blogs!)

Feeling really tired now – we had spent a day and a half down in Exeter playing with our bubbly granddaughter Ellen now 3 (she told me several times). We took her to Killerton (NT property) to play and ride her bike!

Tomorrow night is Book Club and we will be discussing Richard Flanagan’s The Narrow Road to the Deep North – a contemporary  but harrowing book based on Australian POWs on the Burma Railway. Will be interesting to see where our discussion goes!
