Sat 25th May
Didn't pack until this morning as we have been busy emptying the kitchen! The old one is being ripped out whilst we are away and the new one is due to be installed the week we get back.
Left home around 10.30. Hit bits of traffic and then stopped at Exeter for lunch. Left there around 4 and picked up food in Newton Abbott. Arrived here around 5.30. Nice little log cabin/large shed - very cozy. Amazing sea view.
Sunday 26th May.
Glorious day - 15C with cool breeze. Walked down from house into bay and then West along coastal path and by golf course. Our conversations are about considering if we should change church. Had picnic on bench by tee off spot. Came home and chilled. I am just starting to learn MS Access so been playing with that and reading Ender's Game. England doing well against New Zealand in the Headingly test.
Bank Holiday Monday 27th May
Parked north of Salcombe and walked in along footpath and back roads. The town has now become full of twee clothes shops and posh restaurants. The owner of the holiday home said it has become the home of many millionaires. Picked up more provisions and came home to read/draw/listen to cricket. Rain started about 4 and we watched it come in across the sea.
Tuesday 28th May
Went for 4 mile run. Horrible, horrible, horrible day. Had a big argument on the way to The Eden Project about being taken for granted. Continued in Eden and so went back to car. Once we had both calmed down we went back in. Don't want to go back there in a hurry - has some bad memories now. England won the 2nd test - in spite of the rain.
Wednesday 29th May
Misty morning that soon turned into a sunny day with a few clouds.
Went to Totnes and ambled round. Parked by the river again and ate lunch there. Drove onto Dartmoor and walked up to a reservoir from Shipley Bridge. Still discussing churches and what to do. Paula and Jason keep cropping up in these conversations.
Thursday 30th May
Went for 5 mile run along cliffs early - lovely. stayed here in the morning, drawing and reading. Went to North Sands in Salcombe and sat and read on the grass and then in the car. Both fell asleep! Moved car into car park and then walked south to the viewpoint. Beautiful sunny day - 20C but strong wind.
Friday 30th May
Beautiful sunny day and a bit less windy. Went into Kingsbridge in morning and then home for lunch. Dozed and read in the afternoon and then went for walk down into bay and along the beach in the evening - so lovely. Did a bit of rock pooling in the evening sunshine! Perfect end to a lovely week. We have had such brilliant weather - best for years! Great area with lots to see and plenty of great walks on the doorstep. Holiday home was in good location with stunning views. If it had a wardrobe and a hot shower it would be perfect.
