You have all probably noticed I have been quiet for a few days. The song title for today is a convoluted attempt to include where we have been. We went to Rye in Sussex to meet up with a group of old friends, that is why the chorus from American Pie is the title. Rye was a lovely old town with a wonderful nature reserve within walking distance. It was lovely seeing good friends who go back a long way. We came back stopping at Nymans a National Trust Garden. While there we watched a pair of active Firecrests close up. Great birds! There is the picture of a Firecrest at the end.

Busy preparing for my gigs next week with the National Literacy Trust and performing at Wick Court tonight. Continuing to learn a new story for the pub gig on July 19th will do more detail on that in another blog.
