A sort-of history and tour of Britain's maritime locations and artefacts, with lots of stories and asides, it'd make a great series on BBC4. Fred is now three days into work experience, and has been sick every morning with nerves, bless him. I hope underneath he's enjoying it, but he just seems a very negative, quiet teenager about it all at the moment. I remember my work experience though and how shy and self-conscious I was. I still have strong memories though, of the bits I enjoyed (being brave enough to talk to others, going out and about looking at houses and showing them to people) and the bits i hated (photocopying, filing, and sitting with the chain-smoking mortgage adviser). Libby and I are still sleeping out in the tent each night, it must be nearly a month now, but it's so cool out there, it's far too hot in the house and it's lovely to hear the birdsong each morning.
