DAY 477

Now in Cornwall, staying with my parents in Polperro. It's been lovely and sunny so far - long may it last!

DAY 476

... topped off with a trip to the spa on Sunday morning. Who could ask for more?

DAY 475

And now a fantastic weekend in Frome with the town at its absolute best: sunny skies, Frome festival, a brilliant party last night and lots of lovely friends...

DAY 474

One last photo from the farm of my favourite chicken. Not sure you can completely appreciate that bizarreness of her hairstyle: it's a kind of feather afro.

DAY 473

... just in case it looks as if our summer holiday is completely idyllic, I'm including this photo to represent the work that I am still doing, although finding increasingly hard to concentrate on. Today I was working on my essay which was due two weeks ago but for which I will hopefully be given an extension, as requested three weeks ago. Fingers crossed while I continue to read and write (which makes it a little bit difficult).

DAY 472

A trip to Bath today but I forgot to take any photos until we were back at the farm. So here is one of our many croquet matches (and new shoes - just like my old ones, but with a twist)

DAY 471

Friends at the farm today for an animal scavenger hunt, a walk around, a pony ride and a picnic. And a meeting with Archie the owl.
