Really good day today in Padstow and Harlyn, searching for a cursed field for a research topic. We found some very helpful people who gave us lots of information and we had a good explore in the area. We found Harlyn house which has a very dark history, and Mother Ivey Bay. After a hard day information hunting we retired to Padstow to enjoy fish and chips and some delicious mint fudge.
Even better, I actually had a good nights sleep, in bed at half nine, and must have been asleep by ten, brilliant! Feel much better. I am typing this on my housemate`s mac something I`ve never used before so typing is slow. Think I prefer a pc or laptop, it keeps doing unexpected things. But it`s saved me going the four miles to Tremough Campus so can`t complain! I`m deciding whether to go out later, I think it would be good to, but I may have to see how much work I get done. There`s a lot to do.
More post today, great. My latest Friends of the Chalet School club magazine has arrived, so that will be a good read tonight.
I enjoyed Padstow, but it made me think about material things, I`ve pretty much given up any spending money to do this course, and so knew I couldn`t really buy anything (apart from fish and chips and fudge of course!) I think though it has been a worthwhile sacrifice, there was nothing I really wanted, I don`t need more things, other than a few more winter clothes, and I think I`ve gained in mind. Being able to be here in Cornwall is better than souvenirs.

Hi Lily,
How annoying about the person who pipped you at the post to start a theatre group after you'd been discussing that very idea. Gives me an idea for a plot.... hmmmmm! I know just what you mean about being casually excluded from someone's "club" at school. Life's tough when you're little, and it doesn't get easier, does it?
I really admire you for making such a sacrifice to attend your course, which sounds amazing. I'm so jealous! Thank you for asking how I started writing. I tried to explain in my last post, or the one before, (can't quite remember). When it happened, it really just happened to me almost by chance. I still can't believe it!
I'd love to visit you at Falmouth if an opportunity arises, to discuss writing and maybe talk to your group about my own work, if you're interested. Keep in touch, I'd love to hear how you're getting on.
