Another busy day

Well, another busy day at the Explore Braunton office. I'm currently struggling to get maps to save in a legible format and this is pretty annoying as it's central to the project and should in theory be a relatively simple operation. Have also discovered that I'm missing information for all of my tour routes, which means that I'll need to go for three relatively short walks to take photos where I am currently missing some and one jolly long walk to make notes that I omitted to take last time, though thankfully I did take photos on that occasion. I last did the long route the week before Christmas, on a rare sunny day, and it was so beautiful and I was so enjoying myself I must have completely forgotten to make notes. I snapped happily away with my camera and regularly stopped to admire the view but, having sat down today to write up the directions, I find I totally forgot to note them down - duh!

Otherwise things are quite peaceful, I have more contacts to follow up and various bits of admin to do but nothing exciting to report. Have you been watching Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall's programmes about free range chickens? I saw the second part last night and hope to watch the final part tonight. I thought I was already well-acquainted with the issue of free range vs. battery chickens but the programme did make me think and I hope it'll make the rest of the country think too. With little individual effort we can turn the industry around... see the Chicken Out web-site (link below) for more details and let me know if you'd like me to grace these pages with pics of my own chickens, lol!
