just back from a week's holiday with jen in somerset where we stayed in a yurt for 4 nights. it was quite a cold week but with a firepit outside and a woodburner in the yurt and plenty of layers it was an amazing experience. i didn't take loads of photos but there is a set here (half of which are in woodland nearby). the set up was beautifully designed by the owners who had created a kitchen unit, compost loo and the most amazing shower which was run from gas but open to the sky with the shower head hanging from a tree above – see photo set if interested. i don't normally duck out for a week's holiday in term time but summer is a challenge for holiday for us so this was an opportunity we took. the only reason we ended up in a yurt in somerset was because the weekend before i was in wells for the launch of holy rumpus, a new pioneer hub in bath and wells diocese, so we thought we'd look in the direction of somerset and devon. we pretty much cooked off the fire outside all week which was good fun too. anyway now back to emails and work tomorrow with a new boss to meet and a shed load of marking to do!
