Well, I'm not doing too badly. Everything on the plate is edible, I haven't had any stomach upsets and I'm putting on weight so things can't be too bad. I recently ran out of Jane's frozen stock of ratatouille and had to create my own so here it is - Tesco salmon fish cake, spinach, mash potato made from Jane's home grown potatoes and my home made ratatouille. She prepared me for physical survival although she couldn't prepare me for emotional survival.

Every turn in the paths around the enormous parkland estate has something of interest. These are not just ordinary bird huts they are modern, architectural bird houses - the detail is incredible - windows, doors, and balconies.

The real stars of the day have to be the work by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAWS_(artist)" target="_blank">KAWS</a>. His giant wooden sculptures are reminiscent of early Mickey Mouse cartoons and are beautiful.

The human hare is a permanent feature of YSP and one of my favourites. An excellent day but not without its regrets - where was Jane?
