Himself has gone to see his older daughter, whose wedding (the reason we are here) is tomorrow.

R is fascinated by the rabbits wandering freely around the grounds of the hotel. We go for a swim and when the rain stops go out to see them, but of course as soon as they hear us they all disappear into the undergrowth.

In the evening we go to see R’s cousins near a town called Oundle. A beautiful town with very old stone buildings and a very posh, private, quintessentially English school whose students are wandering around as we pass through.
