I can't do late nights at all anymore. If you want me to be out beyond about 8:00 there needs to be a very good reason.

The Enchanted Library in particular is as adult friendly as it is for kids. Other bits are aimed at a younger audience but there's enough to be engaging if you're into storytelling. Immersive is one of those words that usually puts me off but it was actually quite good fun.

The Story Museum. The Enchanted Library gallery is amazing and has a set of small installations - there's a lovely Pooh sticks one too.

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it. On the drive from Bedford to Cambridge the landscape gets flat very quickly but the fens proper do feel further away and it always comes as a surprise to find Ely on the same river!

I did the Latin as a brush up to keep me amused in lockdown. It was obsessed with parrots and weasels if I remember correctly.

So, not an offer of a white-washed villa on the Mediterranean then? Gotcha.

Ethical Consumer have the company listed as a best buy if it's of any reassurance. They don't come out quite as highly as naked sprout but on a par with WGAC which we normally use, we switch to Cheeky Panda when we want something softer.

The linking of housebuilding with immigration numbers has been kicking around in the comments on environmental sector posts for a while but there's been a definite uptick in the last year or so.

Including in her Diocese. (We're the next parish over from hers and have been doing it for some time 🤷♀️)
