(There’s no Internet in Wiltshire and barely any phone signal either. This post will get sent when I get back home).

Wiltshire is very pretty, lots of greenery and flowers, fields and all the nice stuff you expect in the countryside. It’s also got very old and very expensive houses full of rich people swanning around in their open top cars. You know you’re in a posh part of the country when the cheapest supermarket in the town (Marlborough) is a Waitrose.

A nice change to usual was driving down the night before in daylight, it only getting dark as I left the motorway and started going through the twisty roads and lanes around Amy’s grandma’s village. I like driving down single-track roads in the dark, it reminds me of living in the Lake District.

We were given some money by Amy’s mum to go and buy food for the weekend. I was given a list and set about buying food - from Waitrose. It was a uniquely bizarre experience shopping for someone else with their money, but also buying stuff for yourself with it. Normally I scour the shelves for cheap things and almost-out-of-date food. This time I was instructed to buy the good stuff.

The good stuff tastes good, but you don’t get much of it. Me and Amy and her dog went for a walk around Marlborough in the sun and I managed to buy two books:

I’m currently making my way through the weighty Redemption Ark and it seems like a good read so far. It has Space, Sci-Fi and enough of a storyline to keep me reading.
