Batman never had this problem with his bat mobile…over the last few days my car has been covered by bat droppings. It turns out that the Elizabethan manor where I’ve been staying has a bat roost just a over where I park my car and every evening as they leave the roost the bats also leave a little reminder!

The break has been really great but I’ll write more on this when I get back to my usual abode. Today has been a catching up day and this has given some time just to draw and make rather outlandish oil pastel paintings… All great fun. I reaffirmed last night that I have no interest in making drawings or paintings of buildings – they were shocking.

So back home tomorrow and try and get past the Glastonbury turn on the motorway before the traffic gets too bad. Here’s hoping.
