I wanted to chose a record that epitomises Britain for my title today and apologies if it seems more English than British! One of my all time favourite songs as well! This is to celebrate the Tour of Britain passes through our part of the world. I cycled to the top of Selsey Common to watch with some pals. It was a wonderful carnival occasion. Although it was mayhem afterwards with a mass of bikes and cars! I then went down to Dursley to meet Clare at Edwina’s house for a lovely lunch.

Last night’s gig at Wick Court went well. I told my Mollie story for the first time (I don’t count when I was persuaded to tell it for a group of adults when the Round House was built). I am never sure how the story will go and I certainly had some ideas to develop it. I was with Brian singing his song about Wick Court and his poem about the bees. It will be the format of our London tour in ten days time.
