Week in Devon
Aug. 16th, 2015 11:40 amLast Saturday we travelled down to Devon for a family holiday with both
bateleur's and my parents. We did this once before - four years ago in the Lake District.
The journey down was pretty bad as there were two accidents on the M4 (one of which resulted in a total standstill of traffic and people getting out of cars and playing football whilst they waited) and congestion on the M5.
The venue was mixed. The location was pretty good (a few miles west of Bideford), but the villa was fairly basic and when we arrived the shower did not work. The owner had just had three sets of tenants out and the last set had trashed their villa and she had found out about our shower fairly late. We used the grandparents' showers until Tuesday when ours was fixed.
The week went like this: ( Photos and text behind the cut )
Tomorrow I'm back at work as my three weeks leave is over.
