all in a week

 Last Saturday it was good to be with the hardy guests who came on the High Tide watch at WWT Llanelli just as the weather really closed in. Strong winds, eventual sweeping rain and failing light were all a challenge, but the `buffet in the hide` raised the spirits! 

Thank you to all who turned up and appreciated the event, despite the challenging conditions.


Then up the M5:

On Tuesday we headed to Kidderminster, Worcs where a special event was to take place at the 45 Live club, the shooting of the video to accompany the forthcoming single by The Don Powell Band. We then found out that the special guest was to be Bev Bevan, formerly of ELO.

I`ve never actually met Don before, for various reasons never making prior events, so this was going to be special.


A fantastic evening, meeting Don himself (complete with selfie, which I never normally do!), a meet and greet with the full band, watching and being part of the video shoot, and finishing off with a Q and A with them sat just a few feet away! 

To finish things off, Don offered me one of his hammered sticks, so a VERY happy Russ by the end of the night.
