A year older today (21 again and again , again etc etc etc etc). David and Vicky were with us this weekend and we have just come back from a marvellous lunch at the Old Spot. I’ve been given an automatic wildlife camera that you leave out to photograph whatever turns up-it should be fun!

Yesterday was a tense top of the table game at Forest Green. Thankfully we just managed to nick a win with a penalty at the death. Disappointed by the security operation and how much that has cost us as taxpayers! Hopefully this is the start of Luton’s return to where we belong!

On Friday I took Alfie a friend of mine’s grandson for a delightful birdwatch around Frampton. lovely to see such enthusiasm! Later I went to watch the Starlings and saw about 5000 coming in to roost. got very exciting when a Merlin shot into the flock, also saw a Sparrowhawk watching all this. A Kestrel took a Starling from the reed beds.
