There should be a word for on-theme spelling errors. It's just taken me four attempts to spell [aelhouse ahlehouse alhehouse] alehouse properly. I promise I have not visited an alehouse today! #AmEditing

Fabulous day off from editing yesterday at Hellens Manor in Herefordshire learning about coppicing and making a Christmas wreath.

There was cake.

A dog paddled.

Bliss 😍
