What are you all up to

Had a lovely night away and good food last night as the staff found out about our 50th anniversary so at today's meal with friends when the staff came out with the deserts we had cake sparklers on ours and 3 staff singing to us and wishing a lovely day in French and English so of course everybody else started clapping not used to the attention also somebody had a birthday so had the staff singing again, had a bottle of bubbly from our friends and a lovely lily plant with gold colour flowers on and our friend had made us a 50th anniversary cake so a slice of that for tea and to full, we had a great view of the local stream  from our balcony and plenty of trout in it as the hotel is named after the fish.

Had a good walk around the village and found roads we had not been on before very interesting and as we walked back down one narrow road we had pvc motorhome coming towards us following the sat nav and we said wrong road and later saw them going up the correct road towards the autoroute it had an Italian numberplate on, even saw 1 dutch 1 German and plenty of French motorhomes yesterday and today as a local campsite and aire type parking area for motorhomes with about 6 mvs on.

Just chilling out at home now.

Enjoy the rest of your breaks folks.

Many congratulations Redkite. Less for murder 😉. A real cause for celebration. 🥂🎉👏

Delighted you had a lovely hotel stay and that some extra celebration at meal time followed. Sounds like a lovely gift, one I'd be very pleased with, and a cake too..

Enjoy what's left of today remember your wedding day and take it easy for the rest of the weekend.

Thank you Bakers2 for your best wishes. At least no food prep still full from our meal.

Congrats RK. Sounds lovely. Perfect pick me up after the last couple of years.

Forgot to mention, we had smooth newts on our pitch earlier this week, a nice surprise. 😁

As opposed to the normal sort of Newts found on your pitch??😂😂

Hope the journey went well. You probably passed within a few miles of us today as we cycled up the Drake Trail from Saltram House towards Tavistock. We enjoyed the day. Even found a replacement Butane gas on the way back to the caravan at a petrol station. Fortunately they had a delivery yesterday. Got back and have packed as much as we can for our onward trip tomorrow.

I know prices are rising on CLs but there's a Bentley on site at one of the units!  Time for us lower house staff to leave.😂

Saltram House! We used to live across the valley from the estate, WN, and the grounds were one of our regular dog walking spots.

Hope your journey to Exeter was uneventful, tda, and that your's tomorrow is similar WN.

Congratulations RK, your night away sound lovely.

We again walked from the site, this time down to the river and along into Tewkesbury. There was a caravan going into the site at 11:30!😯 We couldn't go into the Abbey as there was a wedding taking place. The bride arrived in the longest, white, stretched limo that we've ever seen, don't know how many bridesmaids were accompanying her but it was big enough for full rugby union team!! 

Picnic lunch in the park before doing some of the Battlefield trail before returning to the van in time to see the final kilometres of today's stage of the Tour of Britain. Already now for our move on down to Priddy tomorrow.

 

Coo, we were close😁 We drove up from Site via Liskeard,Callington, had a nice stop at Kit Hill for lunch, through Gunnislake and then into Tavistock. Busiest place we have been all year, but most folks being careful, shops well organised. Then up over Dartmoor, back out onto A38 via Bovey Tracey.
Racecourse is very busy tonight, possibly full. Been out round course on bike a few times, just to get some exercise in. We move on tomorrow, new CL to us, but comes highly recommended. 

We did an early flyer from Marazion, hoping to miss most of traffic further up at roadworks. Worked out well, occasionally slow, but it was moving.

Shame you didn’t get into the Abbey Nellie. It’s one of my favourite churches, a who’s who of folks buried in there. Very pleasant journey once we got through roadworks and up to Bodmin. I think timing is key to getting through when you head down. 👍 Will be in touch with some walks etc, if you want any, and good beaches, quiet ones😁
