The song title for today is a convoluted attempt to include where we have been. We went to Rye in Sussex to meet up with a group of old friends, that is why the chorus from American Pie is the title. Rye was a lovely old town with a wonderful nature reserve within walking distance. It was lovely seeing good friends who go back a long way. We came back stopping at Nymans a National Trust Garden. While there we watched\u00a0a pair of active Firecrests close up. Great birds! There is the picture of a Firecrest at the end.<\/p>\n<p>Busy preparing for my gigs next week with the National Literacy Trust and performing at Wick Court tonight. Continuing to learn a new story for the pub gig on July 19th will\u00a0do more detail on\u00a0that in another blog.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1959\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=1959\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?fit=560%2C374&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"560,374\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;David Kjaer&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Firecrest (Regulus ignicapillus) male Wiltshire&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1206970526&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;2013&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Firecrest&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Firecrest\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Firecrest (Regulus ignicapillus) male Wiltshire&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?fit=560%2C374&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1959\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?resize=449%2C300&amp;ssl=1 449w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Firecrest.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have all probably noticed I have been quiet for a few days.
