Well Christmas Eve<\/span><\/strong> has come into Gloucestershire<\/strong> <\/span>in style. The non-stop rain of yesterday has seen widespread flooding with roads closed. The roads into village were awash and were closed for a while last night. We decided not to cycle today because we didn’t fancy aquaplaning through the roads! Went for\u00a0 walk instead – pictures from the walk are of the Buzzard<\/strong><\/em> on the ground looking for worms I think and the Little Grebe<\/strong> <\/em>on the canal.<\/p>\n

The good news that I hinted at in an earlier blog is my story “Pig the Legend”<\/strong><\/span> will be published in the Spring. So I will give you an enigmatic taste and will put in one of Jane Fryer’s fantastic illustrations in the next blog. More details in future blogs!<\/p>\n
