I was telling stories today at a care home in Nailsworth. I finished with my own story Christmas Angels which I originally wrote a lifetime ago. I am very fond of it as a story it was originally written as a challenge with friends then developed into a story for telling in school. However it has been performed in the pub and to W.I.s throughout the county. It was ideal for the care home – we all sang “Hark the Herald Angels” as well! Last gig tomorrow in Cheltenham also a care home so I am doing the same three stories I told today – cuts down on preparation time!

Finally I caught a glimpse of a male sparrowhawk flying through the garden yesterday. Thankfully for my small birds in the garden it has been a while since I spotted one in the garden. Picture below of a previous visit!
