Have to start with England’s marvellous win over India in the cricket. If you read my comment yesterday – “What do I know?”\u00a0\u00a0 A superb all round performance and what an amazing \u00a0Jimmy Anderson’s over! You might think Bob Dylan’s song “Forever Young”<\/strong><\/em> was written about the Burnley Express<\/strong><\/em>! Great that it was terrestrial TV again.<\/p>\n

I have started emailing one or two local schools offering some virtual Story Telling just to help out. We will see if the offer gets taken up.<\/p>\n

As the cricket finished early I went for a decent ride. My goodness it was cold that wind was bitter. I changed my route because the weather looked threatening on the tops. Some might question my sanity! I did see quite a few birds while out including an enormous Raven close up. Saw many raptors out as well not sure if that was because of the weather or just luck!<\/p>\n
