Those of you who know their cricket will know <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Bob Willis<\/span> <\/strong>gave himself the middle name <strong>Dylan<\/strong> &#8211; I was reading this weekend that Bob Dylan had made a contribution to the <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Bob Willis Foundation<\/span> <\/strong>which did make me smile -I can&#8217;t believe that <strong>Dylan<\/strong> knows anything about cricket but with him you never know! I am currently listening to the enigmatic<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong> Like a Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/span>! He was certainly the soundtrack of my youth and beyond!<\/p>\n<p>Sadly my expected two games of cricket this week has already been cut to one with tomorrow&#8217;s game already called off. My feet are growing webbing between the toes! The only good thing about the rain it has meant I have managed to get some writing done. Still playing with a sequel to one of my stories- it does mean I have to go back to the original to check the new story complements the original.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned Dan and I are aiming to rehearse for our Gig in a fortnight-this means I have to relearn my stories ahead of that rehearsal. Pictures below are the Two Severn Bores in action before Covid! One in Quedgeley Library doing our <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">River Severn<\/span> <\/strong>show and the other is <strong>Kingshill House<\/strong> doing <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Walking the Tightrope<\/strong> <\/span>last year , I hope you are impressed by my hair style! We need to get more pictures taken when we perform! (I have posted these pictures before!)<\/p>\n<p>I have been considering that\u00a0 maybe our next collaboration is <em><strong>Gloucestershire Folk Tales<\/strong> <\/em>or possibly expand to <em><strong>West Country Tales<\/strong><\/em>. It puts pressure on Dan to come up with the songs and music-I know plenty of stories!<\/p>\n<p><a
