Just to update you: Good night out at the pub on Saturday - They even served my cheese and onion crisps in a bowl. Sunday morning in Shaftesbury impressed all of us, we will probably go back there again. Sunday afternoon was loads of fun. Went to Corfe Castle, very striking. I paddled in a stream on the way up. They enjoy watching me jump across, so anything to oblige… At the castle entrance, I was surrounded by fans! Fifteen boys and girls from a school party descended on me, cooing, praising and stroking me. Not sure whether it is me or Mum who is most flattered! I kept my cool, of course. After that we got back in the car and They said the magic word - beach!

You must come back and I will tell you what happened: it was the best adventure yet. Luckily I am trained to be calm in a crisis…
