Just been listening to one of my Christy Moore albums so that is where today’s title comes from.

A busy few days with gigs, cycling and a Book Club meal.

Our next book is “A Man Called Ove” so it was a Swedish theme for our meal. As always superb offerings from everyone and once again the table was groaning under the weight of the food. It was of course well lubricated with Swedish drink. I am currently a third of the way through the book and I am enjoying it.

Two contrasting Gigs this week. I had a delightful time in Aberdare on Monday and has given me ideas for future gigs in similar schools. On Wednesday was closer to home at Haresfield telling stories to Infants. I have another busy week ahead of me both performing and socially.

Good to get on the bike after the snow, so I have started clocking up a few miles.

Talking of snow we enjoyed seeing Redwing and Fieldfare in the garden although they have now gone but the Blackcap is still visiting the feeders.
