In summary, it was a good holiday and went very quickly. Part of that was maybe cos we had to leave a day early and went down to visit Bev & Ruth on the south coast, then headed up to the Lake District on the Saturday then home on the Sunday. Some good memories - the train from Exeter (and them attempting to not take my money!), Murphy & the wasp in Clovelly, Maddie and the grouse, the sunglasses in the river, recognition of my accent in Tescos in Barnstaple, Maddie in the pub in the Lake District (see below about seats) - and Richard's shock that petrol in Devon is dearer than petrol in Scotland!
I think Maddie needs to have a travelling crate with lowerable curtain as she has on about half a dozen occasions this trip, either had to be put back in the car since she was determined to go back there (scared by something obviously), crawled under chairs in pubs, trains, the B & B room (!) etc - and never the chair WE'RE sitting on! - or snuck into the car and ended up sitting in the driver's seat, waiting for us.
Poor wee thing. I don't think she copes well with change. On the plus side there were no sheep incidents and only one grouse incident, no chickens encountered and a couple of wasps tangled with, so here's to next year! Cornwall, anyone?
