I may have bought this from the charity shop today even though I already own all the individual seasons on DVD, and the whole lot digitally. Needed the extras.

One of my favourite books of the year thus far, despite some strange printing errors. Couldn’t put it down.

First visit to Wells-next-the-sea today. Amazing beach, and a seal decided to pop out of the water onto the sand literally a metre away from us.
