Long cycle ride with my friend <strong>Martin<\/strong> over the tops on a lovely morning. The afternoon I went to celebration of <strong>Celia<\/strong> who was a lovely lady and had been our scorer for cricket. It was a lovely but obviously poignant afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The evening we made our first visit to <strong>Bristol Beacon<\/strong> since it had been revamped. It certainly is impressive and the acoustics were good. However, the seats were uncomfortable which was sad after all that upgrade! We watching the farewell tour of the <span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Oysterband<\/strong> <\/span>who we have seen a few times over the years. We chose Bristol because this gig had the wonderful <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>June Tabor<\/strong><\/span> singing with them. Brilliant musicians and <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>June<\/strong> <\/span>has still got a good voice that complements the band sound brilliantly. A couple of pictures below.<\/p>\n<p>Finally yesterday was my youngest son&#8217;s\u00a0 birthday! So we joined <strong>Pete<\/strong> and family doing the steam train from <strong>Cheltenham<\/strong> to<strong> Broadway,<\/strong> having a great lunch and then a great playtime in a super park. My grandsons were thoroughly enthralled and so were we!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6450.jpg?ssl=1\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7231\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=7231\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6450.jpg?fit=640%2C391&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,391\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6450\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6450.jpg?fit=584%2C357&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-7231\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6450.jpg?resize=510%2C319&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"319\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6452.jpg?ssl=1\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7232\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=7232\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6452.jpg?fit=1774%2C1152&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1774,1152\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6452\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6452.jpg?fit=584%2C379&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-7232\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6452.jpg?resize=583%2C384&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"583\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Busy day for me on Friday.
