An excellent walk up Rhonadale Glen yesterday serenaded by millions of cuckoos, after we'd said good-bye to our cottage week-end visitors. Met Marcus and Mo from the hotel with their telescope out eagle watching. This year the eagles are nesting again and rumour has it that there are two eggs in the nest, so lots of exciting bird watching ahead of us.

The Drama Club plays in the Hall on Saturday were a great success with a large turn-out; as tends to be the case now we weren't sitting in serried rows, but were casually around tables in night club style. It was a pity they hadn't booked the drinks licence in time. Fortunately our friend Audrey was in the know and produced a bottle and 3 glasses from her bag so, while everybody else knocked back the diet coke, we were able to enjoy a cheeky little Merlot!
