Half way through a week of rehearsals and writing, we had a private show scheduled for Bob’s friend, (and now ours) Simon Mills, together with his software company, Ingenuity. It was a great afternoon and evening in an idyllic setting by a lake in the grounds of an amazing stately home in the village of Frampton on Severn, Gloucestershire. Many thanks to all the folks there who made us so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed playing for you and the pig roast rocked too!

However, it almost didn’t happen, since we had close call when a giant tree bough come crashing down on the driveway, the night before leaving our rehearsals. With each of us driving back and forth under this tree yesterday (sometimes in open topped cars), a fatality could have happened, if the branch had fallen at the wrong time. It was huge and very heavy.

Another bit of very bad luck for some folks while we were on our way home this morning, was that a terrible road accident happened on the M42 involving fatalities this time, with three motorcyclists and a car in collision. That closed the road down for about 7 hours. Bob Skeat and myself were forced to make a long detour after we’d managed to get out of the long motorway tailback.
