Listening to the Boss (Springsteen) as I write so took that for today’s title. I thought a singer with a social conscience might be appropriate with this week’s major news. Would be good if our wonderful Health Service slowly featured in the Election stuff as well the fragmentation of our education system. Sadly our press has a clear agenda and those issues will be glossed over. Enough of that!

I have been busy writing both the Ming Story I have mentioned previously as well as a poem. I also have some projects looming that will require more writing will expand on that in future blogs. The summer is already filling up with Gigs in some fairly diverse places. Next week in Bristol for an adult performance at Folk Tales.

I surprisingly got a soaking doing the Bird Survey this morning out on the banks of the Severn. Saw my first Whitethroat of the Spring as well as Greenshank stopping off on migration.
