Theoden went off on the school bus today all the way to Dallington, East Sussex where he will be boarding with IHRA, Jim Goddard. As well as building on Theoden's work ethic, Jim will be introducing him to some more Western work. Theoden has struggled to leave Petra behind every since they met and much as their relationship is very sweet, it does mean that he can get cross if he is asked to leave her - leading to him throwing me off a couple of times. I am hoping that some time away, some solid work and having his comfort zone stretched will all help as well as having someone who can get on and stay on if Theoden says 'no'.
