No not Game of Thrones! Yesterday I saw my first of this year’s Winter Migrants with the young people at Wick Court<\/strong> 50+ Redwings<\/strong><\/span> flew over. I suspect these birds had just arrived after their journey possibly from Scandinavia.<\/strong> (there is a picture I took last year of a Redwing<\/span><\/strong> in Frampton<\/strong>,)<\/p>\n

After my day at Wick Court<\/strong> I rushed off to Cheltenham<\/strong> for another Festival treat. It was touch and go with the traffic if I would make it on time – I had to run after we had parked (Clare was lucky her event listening to author Ann Cleeves<\/strong> didn’t start till 15 minutes later than mine!) I went by the skin of my teeth onto enjoy the multi-talented Amy Jeffs<\/strong> author, historian, artist and musician\u00a0 telling stories from her book Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain<\/strong><\/span> she even had a band with her on stage. Amy and the band sang songs she had written based on the stories and poems in the book. It was a stunning hour and I was completely enthralled\u00a0 – the songs were beautifully crafted. To finish off my action packed day I had Book Club in the pub with food! A provocative and thoughtful discussion on David Baddiel’s<\/strong> book Jews Don’t Count.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was Story Telling tonight back at Wick Court<\/strong> for the first time in eighteen months. I told my\u00a0 Mollie the Sheep<\/strong><\/span> story and I have to say I was a little rusty in the telling! Good to revisit the Story again after so long!<\/p>\n
