Have cut the lawns again,hedges still to do,as three more sleeps before next tug to Welshland via Cotswolds for a few days,

Kj NT Colton Fishacre is worth a trip also a trip on the Paignton to Kingswear steam railway is nice,you could go from (near above house) Kingswear but parking can be a problem as its on road only

Have you been up to the end of the road past Ramslade and had a look at Stoke Gabriel Kj? It's a very pretty riverside village on the Dart, if the tide's out you can amble round the shore towards the church, nothing strenuous.

We've had a totally pointless expedition, we attempted to see my Mum who is an hour and a half away. We couldn't get on to the M5 at Taunton so diverted to the A38 near Bridgwater, couldn't make progress there so went back over the M5 towards Glastonbury. By that time it had taken over two hours to get twenty miles from home. So for the first time ever we gave up and phoned my Mum. Will try again Monday. Seems like the traffic and hold ups on the M5 are never ending.

Yes, we went down to Stoke Gabriel on Thursday for a look.

Will probably go to Coleton Fishacre if the weather holds.

It has been a good few days here.

Log store sorted and load of logs ordered. Came across an advert for a 9 day bird watching holiday in Latvia for about £2k each so got me wondering should we just van for a total of about £1.5k for 3 weeks. Something to consider and plan over the long winter evenings.

Great for crabbing at Stoke Gabriel when high tide on the Dart

It is the "Elvis" Festival here this weekend! What a hoot! Bit 'pointless' as none of you are here, I know!

"the only problem with being away in the van, only 1 TV lol."

One person watches the TV, with earphones plugged into set, which then cuts out the external speakers. T'other watches via the laptop and personal hotspot on their phone, over the internet, whatever they want, also with their headphones on. Job Done!

OH watches the TV in the van while I wile away my time on the laptop on a couple of forums (fori?) and listening to the radio with my headphones on. Simples.

Brue, I heard that the incident in the M5 was another case of 'hazardous' liquids on the motorway. Is this a new way of 'terrorising' the public. It is very worrying. Hope you and the dogs get to see your Mum soon.
