A quick trip on the train to meet Rebecca at her home in Hitchin, fifteen minutes to take the pictures and back to the office.
Not a particularly remarkable journey but the story turned out to be the most read one on the site that day. Read it here: Tattoo cover-up 'discriminates'
Carnival: It's carnival time. Not many floats this year and the rides in the park were £1.50 each, but Lydia enjoyed herself with Hannah and Alistair seemed to find McDonalds interesting!
Sports day: Lydia enjoyed sports day at school this year, no prizes just lots of fun and lollies afterwards.
