After a week of running to stand still, and just about managing to keep up with the hectic teaching schedule, but without any train wrecks [thankfully] dawn running is exactly what happened yesterday. Whatever the intense mystery of the pre-dawn dark [and it's still pitch black when I return home, let alone set out], to run into the clarity of the newly risen sun was fantastic. I also discovered Goathurst, Robin Hood's Hut and the Temple of Harmony; for some reason I had never noticed them in the dark. See www.quantockonline.co.uk/quantocks/villages/goathurst/goathurst1.html for photos.
And I've cut down the hedge [you can see out from the terrace] and gone to a Scout Training [which began with a an out of date video on Changes in Scouting!] and even managed to paint! Then there have been fires and wine and food and chocolate brownies and 'stuck in the mud' and all of the other staples of a family weekend.
Back to school tomorrow.
