We had a very late breakfast though when I say a late breakfast, that was everyone else at a sea food shack. And then we went to Crow Point. We had been here last year and it is pretty and quiet at the same time. Leia obviously had not been here before and she loved it, not just for the walk, but meeting other dogs as well.
A blog mostly about my family. Though I also rant about other things, work, music, films etc.

Day Four in Devon; The Black Venus
We had the best meal of the holiday so far today. It was amazing. Lots of flavour in the food, lovely service. I would definitely return, and we hope to do so.

Day Three in Devon; Fremington Quay
Leia woke me up once in the night and early in the morning. Her bowels are not back to normal and she has spent this evening gassing us out of the room! The walk we had together was longer than that of yesterday and while the paths are not as soaked as yesterday, they still need to dry a bit more as they are still a bit slippery.

Day Two in Devon
Leia woke me up several times last night as she had an upset stomach. She has a particular whine when she needs to attend a call of nature, but this meant that I did not sleep that well.
Because of this, my morning walk was not as long as I would have liked. She loved it, knowing where she was and was keen to get moving. With the rain that had taken place last night, the ground was slippery and I had to be careful that she did not throw me off balance.
She was soaking when I got back and my wife and I washed the mud from her. Later in the day we went to a meal that she had booked. The place was behind a hidden door, well, not hidden, but a door with notices on it which made it look like it was not there when you looked at it initially. The servings were enormous and it certainly was value for money!
On the way home, we stopped at a military collection where I saw a T-34 up close. I also saw armoured cars which I had learned about recently thanks to YouTube video. We also went to Fremington Quay. We have been here before, but this time we arrived just too late to get anything. We will return later this holiday.
I am ending the day on a high note, this being despite the loss Arsenal had against Chelski. Apparently COVID has been an issue for the team. Unless we improve a lot, I do not see much hope this season.

Day one in Devon
We are back again! I got home late last night and we woke early to travel down and made good progress till we got close to Stonehenge when traffic started.
Travelling early was a good idea with traffic, but we have been so tired. It has rained today and apparently has rained this week, but hopefully the weather is going to be better later this week.
On getting here, or rather before, we stopped for lunch at The Stags Head. We had considered visiting here earlier on this year when we came before. I have to admit, I started to have doubts when I got here, but they were dispelled. Good pub food with friendly genuine service. Not sure if we will make a detour to come here, but if we do return here, I would be more than happy to start our holiday here again.

13 Reasons Why; Yeah. I'm the New Girl
A new day and a new episode. I have watched this series before, and I did not like it as much as the other two before. Watching teenage melodrama is even less enjoyable now considering the two teenagers I live with. But watching it means that I get to spend time with my son which is great.
Getting home, my wife and daughter were watching Love Island and Leia went crazy on seeing me. Once she calmed down, I ate my dinner while watching it with my son.
Watching it the second time round is interesting. Of course there is trauma from the previous episode from the last series, but the characters themselves are unaware of what happened. One of the annoying issues of the last series, that being changing that happened was not noticed by me. But I have to say, I enjoyed watching it the second time more than the first.
