We had another one of our super book club meals last night. The evening had a New Zealand theme because we are currently reading The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. It is a  weighty tome and I’ve almost finished it. The strands are all coming together and I’ve enjoyed it. We will talk about it next month. The food offering from everyone was once again excellent!

Got quite a soaking this morning doing our monthly bird watch on the Severn. We wondered if we would see anything in gale forced wind and rain. Had a Great Skua the first one I’ve ever seen in Gloucestershire. So that was worth the soaking!
