Lots to mention from the last few days- certainly a varied time for us here in Frampton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have done my usual volunteering bird watching at Wick Court<\/strong> plus a story telling session with young people from Manchester.<\/strong> We were delighted to see 5 species of raptor including a Peregrine.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Clare<\/strong> and I did another Winter Square on Friday this time up at Ashleworth.<\/strong> Great morning and we saw a good number of birds including a resplendent male Yellowhammer.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last week\/weekend was Stroud Book Festival<\/strong>. We went to two talks together and Friday night’s talk was superb it was titled “Because the Night-Life After Dark”.<\/strong> Both speakers were talking about those people who work at night etc. Clare<\/strong> went to see Matt Haig<\/strong> speak on Saturday but I opted to go to football.<\/p>\n

I decided to go to the F.A. Cup tie where the Mighty Hatters<\/strong><\/span> were playing our local team FGR-<\/strong> I travelled up with two friends who supported FGR.<\/strong> It was a poor game and although the Hatters<\/span> <\/strong>won they didn’t play well (they had made 7 changes from the last game!)<\/p>\n

A couple of pictures below taken in Nailsworth<\/strong> on Sunday where we visited an Art Exhibition.<\/p>\n
