The Pile Decreases...

And so the long march through the Mountains of Marking continues into its final week.... Yesterday saw good progress as did today, with a mere 338 exam questions now between me and a celebratory half-pint of shandy! Managed to get out several times yesterday - for lunch, for a walk with Bella and to see "The Necks" at Bath Music Festival.  Very disappointed in them, especially after Saturday's excellent gig - so we left after the first set and came back up to our local to drink vodka and eat somosas.  I think today's assessment sessions have benefited :-)


This afternoon managed to tear myself away and went for a walk with Su up to Charlcombe church.  On the way, we saw what a neighbour really uses their garage for:-
as well as some excellent cornflowers
Walked passed Charlcombe Manor, complete with monogrammed drainpipes
And at the Holy Well, Saint Susan had an apparition (or something!).

  1. Hi, I lived at Charlcombe Manor in early '70's. It had a ethereal vibe and was steeped in its' spiritual history. Goose bumps thinking about my time there.....

    1. Now an expensive private residence. Not sure if any spiritual vibe left… :-)
