Anna Dreda and Emily from Shropshire arrived at about 4 p.m. The rest of the Readers’ Retreat crowd appeared at about six for supper, a vegetarian chilli which Emily had cooked and brought with her. Four of them were staying at The Ploughman, and were really not happy with their accommodation, so I spent about an hour calling around to see if anyone had any spare beds. No luck so far, but I’ll try again tomorrow.

One of Anna’s Readers’ Retreat guests asked me during supper if the house was haunted, possibly shivering through cold rather than fear. I assured her that it was not, and that I was pretty confident that ghosts were nothing more than figments of the imaginations of those who wished them to exist.
