Today’s title is from one of my birthday presents-it is the latest album from the Boss<\/span> (Bruce Springsteen)<\/em><\/strong> and I am enjoying listening to it as I write. Excellent!!!!<\/p>\n

Actually feeling my age because I did perform live today at Kingshill House Dursley<\/em><\/strong>-yes a live performance<\/em><\/strong>! Brilliantly organised pop up event for Halloween for the local community. Slightly different for me because it felt I was telling on a conveyor belt- the young people were picking up bags with activities and snacks in they then came to me in a marquee (wearing a visor of course) every ten minutes -the ages were mixed and the time with each group was a constraint. So I told an Estonian Folk Tale<\/strong> <\/span>and repeated it \u00a0for each group with a few tweaks I did this non stop for 90 minutes (same length as a football match but with no half time!) It had to be visual so it was a\u00a0 physical effort. My visor got steamed up so I was peering out at the audience through a fog! I will need to look at this!<\/p>\n

Finally I took Esther a friend of mine’s granddaughter\u00a0 Bird Watching yesterday. Delighted that we saw not one Marsh Harrier<\/span> <\/strong>but three! I’ve never seen that many all together in Gloucestershire before! Plenty of Curlew,<\/strong><\/span> Fieldfares<\/strong> <\/span>and Starlings<\/strong><\/span> as well. We were hoping for a murmuration<\/strong> <\/span>but the Starlings<\/strong> <\/span>were in small groups of 30 to 50 birds -hopefully will see some over the next couple of months. (Picture below is not mine but one I found of a Harrier.)<\/p>\n
