Good walk by the River today on the bird survey. Mixed results, slow beginning but a Great White Egret at the end! Also saw the Bore while we were out; always a magical moment.

I had a lovely Story Telling at Tuffley Library on Monday with little ones. A good pedal as well. I am telling a new story this afternoon at Wick Court; a Japanese Folk Tale. I always like the challenge of a new story you are never sure how it will go, what you forget and what you add!!!

We had the pleasure of having our Peter with us for a few days, he needed Internet Access for his work. This followed a wonderful Saturday with David who was driving a steam train. A long story but it was delightful.

I had a lovely bird watch with children from Leicestershire on Tuesday. They were full of enthusiasm and asked some searching questions.
