Sitting at home recovering from having a wisdom tooth extracted. It was horrid (he broke it off while trying to pull it out), and is now very sore. My face is puffed out like a hamster, which the kids think is very funny.

Spent Sunday climbing a hill in the Clywdian range, fulfilling an ambition. Called Peny-Cloddiau it was an iron age hillfort, and the views across the Cheshire plain and the vale of Clwyd up to Snowdon (covered in cloud). 4 miles, not too much uphill. Really fabulous.

Saturday was a Roman reenactment day at Beeston castle. Great day, I'll post some pictures later.
