Cotswolds to the Capital and Comic Relief

I have just had a nice long weekend in the Cotswolds. I never stop marvelling at the greatness of our homeland; the United Kingdom of Great Britain. I stayed in Bourton-on-the-Water, a beautiful river based community, where there were as many ducks as there were Japanese tourists, lurking between the bridges on the river Windrush. I went to Stow-on-the-Wold too, another lovely place, together with Moreton-on-the-Marsh, which was equally enchanting. The Cotswolds are bigger than those places I visited, but it is such a charming area. I mean to return. But there is so much to see and do in the UK of GB, and it is a wonderful place with too little time to cherish every wonderful element. I am lucky to have seen many places over the years, and travelled widely in the UK and some parts of Europe, but I still want to see more of my homeland.


Today I am off to the capital, to visit the Comedy Store, and see "ordinary" celebrities be stand-up comedians-in aid of Comic Relief and Red Nose Day. Tony Blackburn, amongst others is giving it a try. I so admire him, for he is never afraid to have a go and even make a fool of himself. Hes been making me smile for years, but does he have the timing,and the jokes to actually do serious stand-up? 
I will go by train, as I still am not allowed to drive after my operation. So if you want to know how Tony Blackburn did then watch this space! But I will not be able to tell you everything, as you really should watch and listen to Red Nose Day as it unfolds on TV and radio in a few weeks time.
