Important places Libraries and are important to local communities. \u00a0A break this week until my busy spell with Two Severn Bores, a reminder of our dates-Wednesday 24th April at Folk Tales in Bristol (8.00 p.m. Benjamin Parry Scout Hut), Friday 26th Frampton Village Society (7.30 p.m. welcome to anyone) and\u00a0Tuesday 30th\u00a0at Wotton Arts Festival \u00a0(7.30 Star Inn Wotton).<\/p>\n<p>Finally it had to happen my fantastic football team lost a match ending our record breaking unbeaten run. So it was some adjustment to\u00a0the normal smiling\u00a0Saturday night\u00a0We were a bit short on numbers certainly up front and we didn&#8217;t take our chances in the first half. Fingers crossed we will get back to winning ways\u00a0next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blurry picture of yours truly below at the Velodrome on Friday.
