Not sure that title has ever been used by anyone before! Currently staying with Peter and Nicola in Maidenhead. Yesterday we went to see the Edvard Munch exhibition at the British Museum. Really enjoyed it and it was well curated. Afterwards couldn’t resist going to see the Sutton Hoo Helmet I decided it was for research to give texture to my Saxon story that I tell as part of Severn Stories and Songs! We are lucky to have excellent museums and they are free. Pity about the decline of libraries over the last few years!

Later we met Pete at the Velodrome in the Olympic Park. He had treated me to an hour on the track! Brilliant! Terrifying at first as you cycled round on the banking especially on bikes that don’t have brakes. Had a great time and grew in confidence over the hour. Might add a picture on next blog. Will also blog about Thursday’s Story Telling in Tuffley next blog when home.
