Got up and got ready to leave just after nine. Got on the train at 9.33 and cruised to Waterloo in just over 3 hours.

Rosie met me at the station in a particularly bubbly mood. We went back to her house and undid her presents. After this we went for a walk to a kind of park called Hillyfields, which lived up to its name fairly reasonably.

In the evening we all went for a meal to Whitewebbs, which is just like the Malt House in Exeter. I had scampy and chips, which was a big success. I wouldn't mind some of that now, actually.
