Been bobbing about on the outskirts of some competitions lists, poetry and story. I've always liked bobbing and outskirts. You get to hear some good readings and meet great people who write, too. So a couple of Bridport shortlistings. And got invited down to a lovely event one watery weekend in Derby to hear the Aurora prize readings and the judges speeches. Warm and welcoming.

THE NEW LEAF 
 Nurturing Nature are going to the Resident's Association meeting open to everyone this Thursday 26th at the Woodland Hall at 7pm. Perhaps you can come along and support people and nature in our village. As members of Nurturing Nature, Esh Winning, we have been learning the basics of bird-feeing in our garden this year. We invented a makeshift method to deter jackdaws and were visited by a tiny, fierce goldcrest bobbing about in the evergreen bit of hedge. Perhaps it came for the mealworms. Support the birds! Hope to see you on Thursday.
