Reading Retreat Number Six – Taunton!

Last weekend, my primary human and I went on another glorious reading retreat, this time in Somerset. It had been quite a stressful few weeks, but my human immediately felt better when we arrived in our room to find this:

The view from our bedroom window was very soothing as well:

My human had decided to make this a re-reading retreat, so had selected four favourites from recent years to revisit. She also received some wonderful, snuggly slippers in her goody bag:

I took the opportunity to catch up with the Reading Retreat Totoro, who is always good company:

My human spent most of the weekend curled up in this amazing armchair:

This fine fellow guarded the bathroom:

On one of the walks, we encountered several startling creatures. I’m not sure I’d want to encounter this one late at night:

But I think this one’s hiss was worse than his bite:

This gentleman may have looked prickly, but he was happy to give directions:

As ever, the hospitality was superlative, and the house was very comfortable:

We’ve signed up for our next retreat in June – can’t wait!
