Instep Dance at Brockhill School
Most of us will never know just how much talent is flourishing in our schools. Fortunately, I was invited to a show by Instep Dance Company, based at Brockhill School, and I experienced the highest level of performance I could have imagined. The programme enabled a wide range of performances to be seen from the various stages of instruction and development, from tiny tots to those ready to leave the education system.

Celebrating an Iconic Bedford Brand with Wells and Young's, the Blues and... a Live Eagle!
I was honoured to be asked to perform the unveiling of the new branding for the relaunched Wells and Young's Eagle IPA on Thursday. The beer has been relaunched to reaffirm its connection with Bedford, as asserted proudly by the slogan 'Born and Brewed in Bedford.' Thursday's event also marked Wells and Young's ongoing support for the Bedford Blues, another great ambassador for Bedford, and a number of players were in attendance, along with Director of Rugby Mike Rayer. With apologies to the Blues, however, I have to say that perhaps the most fearsome sight at the unveiling was another distinguished guest: a live eagle!

Dover Civic Service
The venue of Dover Parish Church was a dignified setting for the Mayor-making of Sue Jones. By this time, I have become familiar with the routines of these events but more importantly, people such as Sue have become my friends and I was so pleased to be there to celebrate with her.
