Holidays in Devon

Knockin' on Devon's Door....


The holiday plans were, to spend some time in Devon and Cornwall. Some bad weather and some very painful wisdom teeth were to convince us to hop on a boat to France. We spent a nice week in the UK despite my gloomy summary. We camped on a farm and had delicious farm raised sausages for our breakfast. The site ran along the edge of a large stream and made for a tranquil few days in Exmoor National Park. Sadly the wisdom teeth meant little to no real eating. Cream teas, fish 'n chips and Cornish pasties will have to wait till next time.

Oh lovely - I'm missing our annual trip to France this year :( La Rochelle was so pretty last autumn - I think we'll go back next year...

La Rochelle is so nice, great food and nice walks. It was hot also which is always a bonus in Irish eyes. You can't beat a good trip to France it's true and yummy too

Did you stay in that VW camper van? Too cool! Sounds like your Plan B was wonderful.

Plan B was great - yeah we slept in the back for a whole 3 weeks!
