Did you enjoy swimming with the dolphins? It's supposed to be very therapeutic!
Will is staying at the moment and keeping us all entertained. The news on Sparkford, is very encouraging and may well include you and Stephy, with a provision for Abi, later. When you get back; we will fill you in on all the details.
Will and Stephy go back on Sat and Stephy starts her new job on Mon, which she is really looking forward too.
Take care and enjoy yourselves. xxxxxxxx

Hi from sunny Bath. Have you recovered from the news of our chicken! Dad is nearly having sleepless nights worrying about it. We have nicknamed it the beast, as it is broody and pecks a lot. I haven't even seen it properly yet, too busy doing the gardening and real jobs! Our receptionists have been introduced to it and will undoubtedly have training workshops on how to lock it up, just in case we do go away for the w/end. Giles has to build a house for it and the new chicks if we do have any. More mess!! Have you stumbled across any poultry recipes whilst you have been away? Let us know your thoughts and if there is anything you can do to help Giles. Still on the gardening/good life note, we manged to get rid of the remaining tree stump so one less job for you to tackle Greg! Alice mentioned that we saw Richard Briers(Monarch of the Glen) last Sat evening at a charity dinner. Him and his family were brilliant . They read some poetry and prose during the evening.
Hope the sun is still shining for you
Lots of love as always Mumx
