Saturday at Landaviddy
Saturday 12th August 2017
Spent most of thr day in and around Landaviddy Manor, our home for the week. Chie and I popped into Polperro briefly towards the end of the morning to have a look around, then again later on in the afternoon with Erika in tow. First big family meal in the evening with 19 of our full compliment of 22 now present!

I wasn't sure whether the hot tub would have been cleaned so I set about trying to empty it myself. Fortunately the groundskeeper arrived shortly afterwards and told me it had actually been emptied and cleaned the day before.

Still I was quite pleased with myself for setting up a siphon.
