Thursday 27th July
After a comfortable night listening to the rain falling on our roof, we woke around 0700hrs and the bonus, the dogs went through the night, no interruptions; Long May this continue!!!
We had contacted “Incledon Farm” who said we could arrive anytime after 0900hrs, so after a swift breakfast headed off. We had a “dry” drive along the picturesque Taw Valley, following the river Taw down to Barnstable, arriving on site mid morning.
We have two adjacent pitches as Mark and Paula are bringing their camper down for the weekend with Paula’s parents also join us albeit in a local hotel; probably the sensible option bearing in mind the weather forecast!!!
After settling in and a spot of lunch, we headed down to the 3-mile long “Saunton Beach”, where dogs can roam free and enjoy running in and out of the surf; Tom-Tom and Rosie had a “ball”. Walking off the beach, passing surf shops and cafe etc., we treated ourselves to a couple of ice creams, and “treated” was the right word; two cones £7.50, my goodness, daylight robbery, still a captive audience🥶🥶,
Back in the car the dogs went straight to sleep, they were knackered as we headed to Braunton to do a bit of shopping. The dogs were so knackered when we opened the boot they really didn’t want to get out!!!
A quiet evening back at the site and following dinner managed to get our original “Spanish black box” working on the TV; we were complete😂😂😂
