Around 370 new words today, and Rupert is still reading his letter and has learned that there is art at the cousins' house that he really ought to inspect:
Rupert wanted to visit. Not only did he want to see the painting for himself and meet his cousins in person, he also wanted to learn how their farm was run. He thought he'd also like to hear more about the lad with access to the photocopier – the older brother of Natasha's best friend – who produced a punk fanzine and sometimes also made posters for local pub-bands.
Then there were the ponies. Natasha and David each had several of their own: riding ponies, brood mares, and young-stock, and had supplied him with carefully drawn out pedigrees for the whole of the family's current herd. Natasha herded the hill sheep on horseback, although David preferred to round them up with his dogs from the ground – he'd won several trophies in his age group at local sheepdog trials and was hoping to compete against adults the following year.
