Spring is here at last - and early morning is a great time to look at the countryside. On Wednesday morning, I woke to the sound of the dawn chorus - just the birds, no traffic, And these are the scenes from the window at Chris and Delene's house just a few miles from the city of Bristol.

It's somewhat ironic that worsening traffic in Bristol has lead me to stop over the occasional night with son and daughter-in-law in this quiet spot when I have a longer course to give in the City. But it also gives me a wonderful chance to catch up with their news and to spend some much enjoyed time in their company - Delene, Chris, many thanks for making me so welcome.
