Killerton & A La Ronde

We went to Killerton house on Sunday, and A La Ronde yesterday. Both houses were beautiful but very different. Killerton was big and had WW2 stuff upon entering, it's set on 6400 acres of land and is the largest property owned by the National Trust. A La Ronde was small but ingeniously designed by the cousins that lived there, the amount of time it would have taken them to collect all the shells on display and in the gallery is impressive in its own right, let alone the time it would have taken to collect all the feathers to make the frieze in the drawing room. Truly astounding.

Will be studying over the next two days, then we'll go somewhere on Sunday. Not sure where yet, but will probably be Arlington Court.

We went to Haldon Forest on Sunday to do the Discovery Trail. We really enjoyed it, it was only a 1.5 mile walk but it was just nice to get out of the house together. We'll definitely go again at some point and Mark would like to get a back harness to carry Seth in so that we can do the harder trails as they aren't suitable for pushchairs.

I don't know where we'll be going this Sunday but we want to use our National Trust membership as a few of the local places start opening this weekend so it'll be a NT place.

My next course starts on Saturday so I need to be super organised as I'll have 2 courses running at the same time until June.

I got my latest TMA back the other day. I got 96, much better than the last score, I'm back on form!

Will be starting work on my next TMA this Saturday, and then going out with the kids on Sunday.

Everything's ticking along nicely at the moment.
