to Bolsover castle. Rather embarassing to have lived here as long as I have and never been previously, although Tim and the kids know their way around it pretty well.

Small has a sword now, he’s thrilled with it, although apparently he’d prefer it to be white. We’ve ordered Big’s dress – the site has a special offer on premium rate postage due to the postal strike this week.

Right, must have something to eat now.
