Early on Tuesday morning, Ben, Amy, Helen and I took Sue’s two dogs for a walk up along the ridge to the south of town. The dogs seemed to enjoy themselves but also seemed to be feeling the heat, dashing from one point of shade to another. The hike took us up to the toposcope overlooking the town.
We all then made a trip to the camera obscurer museum. The ‘highlight’ of the museum is the mirror / lens configuration which projects an image of the outside world down onto a flat surface in a darkened room. Apparently it was built by the original owner to track down where the doctor was in town. Perhaps.
In the evening, all but the eldest generation met up for dinner at the Rat and Parrot, a favourite haunt for the students in town, but also a famous pub and grub venue.
