Audley

It's been a quiet week. I have walked a fair bit, listened to lots of podcasts and read a bit. 

I am trying to work out why Terry Brooks can't extend the Shannara books? if anyone knows let me know as I may have missed something.

YEARS ago and I mean years I read Ben Bova's Voyagers. Now I remember enjoying it but for some reason never read anything else by him and there have been sequels to Voyagers. I therefore decided I finally ought to rectify that. Over the years he has been bust writing lots of stuff including a future history called the Grand Tour. Instead of starting with that I picked up the first volume of a short fiction best of anthology.  I am half way through and it is very good I guess its kind of old school (Bova was an editor of Analog science fiction magazine) but very good it is too. Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke fans will approve and I will read more.

Anyway today I went to Audley. It was grey and dull but was nowhere near as cold as it was yesterday.

I headed straight for the coffee and also had a sausage bap which I took to some outdoor seating in the spot below.

There were two little Grebes and you can tell winter is coming since Tufted Duck numbers are up ;)

I am back next Saturday as well. Lockdown ends Thursday but the weather forecast doesn't look great so nowhere booked yet. Lets hope it stays dry for Hatfield on Wednesday :)

Stay safe everyone.
