Well, the Sidmouth Science Festival family day at the Norman Lockyer Observatory happened, despite the poor visibility and persistent rain. This latter did not dampen the spirits of those attending. Many were fascinated by our display of a wind tunnel model of the Blue Streak rocket. A full lecture theatre were enthralled by my daughter (very proud mother moment!) giving a talk about solar system formation, and her research. I would have liked to have sold more of my books, although I was pleased by how many people picked up a copy to look through. A veritable whirlwind of a weekend!
