Day two in Devon


Today started way too early for me. Our daughter was not able to sleep as Leia would not stop barking.  As noted yesterday, I was very tired so I went downstairs took her out of the crate and fell asleep on the sofa in the lounge.

She did wake me up during the night by licking me, and also did bark at sounds in the night from time to time, but otherwise, was much quieter than she had been before.  I woke up properly around five in the morning, or I should say I woke up and sat up stroking her while I had a kind of power nap.

At six, I walked her to Goodleigh, this time taking her on the slopes of the woodland walk which she appeared to enjoy.  Going up is easier when you have a dog towing you!  A late morning trip to TESCO almost resulted in my wife losing her Linda Farrow sunglasses that she bought at clearance prices in the past.

We had a late lunch at The Chichester Arms.  My amazing wife, that I do not deserve, drove us there. On arrival I was somewhat apprehensive due to the dilapidated look of the place but was pleasantly surprised. The portions of the Sunday Roast were huge and dessert was fantastic. My only issue with it was that my stomach is not large enough.  

Anyway, we are now relaxing, other than my daughter who is diligently revising for her end of exams.  She did take a break to help me type this, and also dictate parts of this entry.
