The title refers to last night’s football more of that towards the end of the blog!

Had a busy week and have even managed some writing on a story I haven’t touched for a while. Hope to get some more done next week.

Lovely Bird watch with the young people from Charles Dickens Primary School on Tuesday, they got really good at spotting small birds like a Wren. Today I told them stories and they were joined by their friends from nearby Eastington Primary School-these two schools have had a link for several years and it was lovely to see them together.

Yesterday was all go. I took out my pal’s Terry dog Jake for a walk first thing, later met up with old friends (all retired Headteachers) for an enjoyable lunch. Later went to watch the Mighty Hatters  win with an excellent team performance. Yes!!!!!!!!!!Fingers crossed for Saturday’s Northern Sojourn – we are off to watch them!

Even managed to cycle against the wind on Monday really hard climbing into the gale. Today we got a good soaking on our bikes! (I might need to have my head tested after trying riding in this challenging weather!)
