Had a lovely story telling session at Wick Court with young people from Surrey. I hadn’t met them like I normally do on the Wednesday but they settled quickly and were brilliantly attentive.

I have been clocking up miles on the bike and had a super ride over the tops to day. On a cycling theme I am being treated tomorrow night to seeing Mark Cavendish (the Manx Missile) at the Cheltenham Literature Festival with my Peter (it is his birthday treat).

You may of noticed my silence on footballing matters- my football team have been a mess on the pitch and sadly out fought by the opposition. There is no truth in the rumour that I am the new manager!!!
