A busy week on the entertainment and social front. Also been involved in three bird surveys this week, one was my usual at Wick Court with the children. The children saw a record number of species including Golden Plover and Lapwing from our Hide overlooking the river. The other two surveys was my monthly one in Frampton and a Winter Survey for the BTO in Cam. Highlight being a Short Eared Owl having a dust up with a Buzzard in Frampton.

We went to the Everyman this week to see the Wipers Times a delightful story about producing a newspaper that poked fun at authority and especially the idiotic top brass running the war. (It was set in Flanders during WW1.) It was written by Ian Hislop.

I also went to Cheltenham yesterday to see Ned Boulting one of ITVs presenters of the Tour de France. A sideways look at Bikes, bike people and racing! Good fun.
