We took a couple of days off to pop up to see the wonderful hosts that are ChrisTilda, and great to spend time with William and Alfred.

WE took Alfred back with us for a few days, on way back we visited Woburn Abbey.

May Day weekend and weather hot, plus 2 day Bishops Stortford Music festival.

Started Saturday morning with no 10 Parkrun, 23.43, 10 secs off my PB. Aim to get below 23mins this year.

Headed off to BishBash for 2pm and made traditional festival base camp.

Cold beer, music and lots of sun, what’s not to like. Mabel enjoyed the bouncy stuff. Musical highlights, Among the Citizens, we left for home before the Rolling Clones came on.

Sunday from midday, same again. Good music from Pet Needs, The Muffinheads and finished off with legend that is Wilko. First seen by me in Dr Feelgood around 1976, when Mrs Bear was 3 years old.
