Staying at Sarah's

I would have written Staying at the Clarke's, but the alliteration wasn't as impressive!
Anyway, for the last few days I've been visiting my sister Sarah and her family in Exeter, hence me not blogging for a while. Although I've been utterly amazed while I stayed with them just how much time Sarah actually does spend on the computer!! Seriously, Sarah, I think you have an obsessive-compulsive disorder :D
I had a great time though, many thanks to all the Clarkes. Activites included going to Crealy (theme park type thing), visiting a museum, going swimming, eating out at a really lovely restaurant and also learning how to play poker!!
It was really cool seeing everyone again because, considering as how we're related, we really don't see the Clarkes very often! My niece Anna is getting more grown up every day; it's really very scary (or maybe I'm just getting old - what do you think?!)
Today I have been obsessively reading The Da Vinci Code which I borrowed from the Clarkes. I'd been meaning to read it for ages, very nearly bought it for Dad about 3 times so that I could steal it but in the end just didn't. Have now finished it, and would highly recommend it to anyone. It was very very cleverly written and had lots of interesting information as well, although I did have to keep on reminding myself that it was fiction and I didn't actually believe it!
Tonight we have King's School Prizegiving, my last ever - end of an era!!
Oh, and on a slightly different note, Henry Box school where I am going next year have sent me a letter telling me to write two book reviews before September. Somebody should really tell them this is not the way to get enthusiastic pupils. Although luckily I've read enough of the books on their list to not need to read any more as well!
