It's always good to have feedback on the blog, and one mum told me off yesterday for not sharing my holiday plans on the blog as I did last year !
Part of the story appears in the Royal Navy secti0n blog which describes the achievements of four candidates for the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, doing their adventure by sail.
Otherwise we spent a lot of time decorating my late parents' house in Malvern, Worcestershire. We will be escaping there at exeats and holidays - we love the tall ceilings (I can swing a 10 foot scaffold plank without touching the top) but it does mean painting every room after some extensive repair work by reassuringly efficient builders will take time. We're thinking of advertising painting weekends - we provide B&B, and visitors get a roller and 10 litres of emulsion.
A highlight of the end of the holiday is the village fete at Whittington in Gloucestershire, where my brother's private press (The Whittington Press) has an open day. I spent too much on the stall of Dennis The Cycling Anarchist, whose hand printed posters (and T-shirts - see "A Walk in the Park" reflect his love of poetry, blues music and people.
