Today was meant to be better, but it ended really well. After breakfast we relaxed before driving to Beesands for lunch. We have been there before and while there are places closer, this has a memorable place in the hearts of my wife and I. I am not too sure about how much the children remember about being here in the past, but my wife remembers this for good and not so good reasons. I love the fish here, so we drove there.
It was after we encountered the first blockage in the road that I started to think that there might be a better route there. Our Sat-Nav had decided to take us on a direct but challenging route. I took a different route and realised when we ended up part of a convoy of cars that the algorithms must be similar, and wrong. When we finally ended up there, it was busy. Social distancing was taking place, which was just as well for the man in a wheelchair that we saw along with a woman pulling along her oxygen cylinder. But while the day had started sunny and promising, it started to rain. It was just spotting for lunch and we drove back along the coast, ignoring the Sat-Nav for a while. Sadly due to a wrong turn we did not get to walk about in Ottery St Mary.
What we did do was to go for dinner after I had my evening walk. While there, my cool daughter and awesome son played articulate. Dinner though was amazing and while my wife too tired to go, we all enjoyed being there.
