I have to get ready to go to Jimboomba (delivering presents down on the stud farm – all will be revealed later) so this morning I shall leave you with an email and photos from Chris, our lovely man with the news updates in Dawlish…

Darling, thought you might like to see the scene down below as it
develops – high tide this afternoon, rough, but not terrible; work seems
to have been suspended for a few hours,  guess to let the tide retreat a
bit.  You can see the sea’s still getting through the gap, but I believe
they’ve done their concreting, so there’s now a little more protection
for the house.

What a relief! By the way, did you know that David Cameron (our English Prime Minister) visited Dawlish two days ago?
