Lots to mention from the last few days- certainly a varied time for us here in Frampton.

I have done my usual volunteering bird watching at Wick Court plus a story telling session with young people from Manchester. We were delighted to see 5 species of raptor including a Peregrine.

Clare and I did another Winter Square on Friday this time up at Ashleworth. Great morning and we saw a good number of birds including a resplendent male Yellowhammer.

Last week/weekend was Stroud Book Festival. We went to two talks together and Friday night’s talk was superb it was titled “Because the Night-Life After Dark”. Both speakers were talking about those people who work at night etc. Clare went to see Matt Haig speak on Saturday but I opted to go to football.

I decided to go to the F.A. Cup tie where the Mighty Hatters were playing our local team FGR- I travelled up with two friends who supported FGR. It was a poor game and although the Hatters won they didn’t play well (they had made 7 changes from the last game!)

A couple of pictures below taken in Nailsworth on Sunday where we visited an Art Exhibition.
