Sunny weekend



What a glorius weekend we have had so far! On Friday afternoon we picked L up from school and headed down to salcombe in Devon to camp over. Trailor hitched and laden with the ton of stuff that is our camping gear, we arrived there in just over 2 hours.

The campsite was about 2 miles from salcombe and a lovely farm site with a large mowed campers field. It was just us and a small group of tents way across the other side...bliss!
Tent up we headed off to a small cove for a swim, then fish and chips for tea. Even though the chips were not proper chippy chips much to kal.'s dismay!

It was a chilly night but the sun shone agin on Saturday morning. We went down to salcomebe and enjoyed a lovely breakfast overlooking the harbour then hired a small boat and sailed around the estuary for an hour. The kids just loved it, and totally got the sailing bug.

Unfortunatly we had to get home for a wedding evening party so we packed up, had lunch at pretty hope cove then came home. It was a lovely 24 hours, and we all want to go again for longer.

The wedding party was lovely, set in the brides parents farm yard with dancing in the old barn which had been transformed in to a beautiful venue with pretty lights and a stunning iron fire pit art piece that stood 20 ft in the yard. It was a truly lovely day for them. We took little C with us and she was a dream too, wandering about enjoying attention from everyone and then sleeping while we all drank and danced. Kal overindulged and made himself ill, always a sign of a great night.

It's lovely today so I think we'll have a BBQ later then go for ice cream at the common near by. I can't wait till tomorrow, shopping in bath with some lovely ladies then for a twighlight spa session and dinner...lovely!
