Day one in Devon

To say that we are tired is an understatement.

I got home late last night and was not too pleased when my wife woke, as planned at about four in the morning. I tried and failed to get back to sleep, so got up and packed.  We left later than she had planned though.  The drive took us along the M4 and not past Stonehenge (one of our children admitted that they had thought it was in Scotland once and the other asked when we were to pass it).  When we got to Bristol, traffic started to be a major issue.  I tried to avoid it by driving round Bristol, but missed the turning, so drove into it.  That was a mistake.  The children helpfully pointed out that thanks to my diversion, our ETA changed from noon to 1400 hours! But the drive was not as stressful.

However, we did get here.  Unlike last time, we are in the cottage and it is even more relaxing than when we stayed before.  

I have been for a walk with Leia already, which she loved.  The image that I have posted was taken by my daughter when Leia was waiting for my wife and I coming back from Barnstaple with take away food.
