Glad to be leaving Spain behind, though worried about Carston’s friend. Do you recall Theroux ever putting himself in this much jeopardy? Thought not…

I am Dawn Siobhan Jones, 27, an outlaw from Coventry. But I’ll be a good one, a Robin Hood type figure. I’ll give lots to the poor.
This very morning I bought a homeless woman a large bouquet of flowers.
Love & light,
Dawn x

I do not like hiding.
I liked it better when we were on a quest. It’s better to be going at something rather than from it. Best of all is to be in your own room, doing and making, at your own pace. But those days are gone.
I feel a bit twitchy and we’ve got no pop to settle my nerves.

When I first started out as a documentary film maker I made a list of things I would never do even for a great story:
1. Put the lives of my immediate family in danger
2. The human trafficking of children
3. Have sex with a woman who marks less than 4/10
4. Black up in inner city areas
5. Sleep rough
6. Eat directly from a tin.
Looks like I’m going to have to revise the last two.

Carston has a knife with a pig on it. When he first landed in Spain he only
ate things he killed under his own steam, like dogs and seagulls and once a
horse when he was desperate. This is why he values luxury now, he says.

Dawn and Ian are on the hunt for their next sibling. I don’t know if it’s the balmy weather or the cocktails but I’m finding that Alicante is a genuinely friendly place.

This is the most exciting live event I’ve covered since Big Brother 6 winner Anthony Hutton opened the new Somerfield in Darlington.

They come into your life & your world turns upside down. Cue a million concerns - Am I good enough? Will I raise them right?
You grieve for the days of a full nights sleep & time for a pamper. But in the blink of a heavy lidded eye, they’re all grown up & garrotted on your apron strings.
Ian’s fast becoming a man & will one day want to stand on his own two feet. But not before he overcomes his clown neurosis so I think I will have a good while yet.
Love & Light,
Dawn x

I might not seem like one of those people people, but I’m trying.
It takes me a long time to meet people properly, but Dawn is forcing me out of myself a bit. She says that I just need to put my Meet Head on and take the people by the horns. It’s going ok.
I bumped into this same man later and he told me that he’d played Bilbo Baggins at school. In French!
