Well helloooooooo there. It sounds to me as though you're all having a fun time, though I do have some trouble following events when I havn't any idea who all these odd people are.

Nothing much happening here in leafy Worcestershire. Just trying to remember how to use a computer after the holidays.

In cornwall we went on a trip down a tin mine, took all day literally about 5 hours in all including the buildings and museum. When we finally emerged from the hole in the ground, I just couldn't remember whether it was a copper or tin mine, so I asked the nice national trust man what it was they mined! copper or tin. The look on his face needed no interpretation.
My son decided to put our hard hats up the inside of his sweatshirt doing a brilliant impression of Dolly Parton. Mr National Trust just looked unamused and said - there's always one.
We wont be going back!
