Looking upstream along the Nervión estuary towards Bilbao this morning.
I set off t walk upstream along the estuary in bright sunshine this morning but when I looked behind me & saw what was coming in from the sea I decided to cut my walk short. I got home 10 min before the rain.

It would have been Bernard Cribbins' 97th birthday today.
My class made a video to go with his 'Right, Said Fred' and I gave him a copy.
He asked for the names of every child involved.
A couple.of weeks later, the school received a box of goodies and handwritten notes for every child.
A legend.
