Goodnight friends! Holiday rounding out with a pretty unique and slightly surreal experience – our travel back home happened to co-incide with the annual open access sleepover at the national space centre, so we’ve broken our journey to spend the night beneath a soyuz capsule and next to Helen Sharman’s training spacesuit. A bunch of travel and unusual circumstances to get used to, so I’m off to find somewhere to brush my teeth in the dark of a museum at night!

May we find relief from lingering anxieties and doubts today!
