Yes it has been busy! Another lovely bird watch with children from Southwark at Wick Court. Children were full of enthusiasm and had that real sense of wonder of the world around them.

I popped into to my old school to watch their Christmas performance; good to see everyone again. The school looked great some wonderful displays.

Saw the wonderful June Tabor and the Oyster Band  in Bath on Wednesday night. They were brilliant. They are playing in Gloucester Cathedral in February for anyone local go and see them (sadly we can’t because we are in New Zealand) you are in for a treat! The Bonny Bunch of Roses is one of their impressive songs and as it is about Napoleon and of course reminds me about  my time on St Helena. They play a real mixture of songs and style of music. Very different to the Fairport version of this song.

I am not mentioning the debacle of Tuesday night! Just to say I thought I could defend better than our defence even at my age but perhaps I might be a bit slow!

We off to Norfolk for the weekend to watch the wildlife spectacular where thousands of Knot fly up in a group.
