Kids
- Blundells School, Tiverton
  
  Muddy says: A co-ed prep and senior school set in 90 acres, with a distinguished 400 year history; the Blundells blend of traditional values and modern teaching is turning out brilliant all-rounders.
- Trinity School, Teignmouth, South Devon
  
  Muddy says: A warm, friendly, family-oriented school, highly rated for its individual approach. A bit of a hidden gem in South Devon.

My Favourite Places: Tim Henman

  Winning TV quiz Pointless, playing basketball with Justin Bieber, crying over Oprah Winfrey - it's all in a day's work for Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo. Muddy is enamoured with its new BFF.

  ...Jimmy Carr. Not *that* one; but this one's a total rockstar in my humble opinion and here's why.
