Just now we are having an Indian summer.<BR/><BR/>Fiona: I'm glad to have awakened happy memories. Years ago we did the Croyde and Braunton Burrows area more thoroughly but our movements are more restricted now and parking can be a problem.PIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-63385231100614701882008-10-12T00:54:00.000+01:002008-10-12T00:54:00.000+01:00Oh, happy memories of Barnstaple and Croyde. We lived in the now defunct air base at RAF Chivenor and my son was born in Barnstaple hospital twenty years ago.<BR/><BR/>Did you go to Braunton Burrows? In Croyde you can have clotted cream on top of your ice cream.

Oh I see you are looking from outside:) Every day I get evidence of how much and sometimes can't believe my luck.<BR/>I also have the ability to know exactly what he is feeling without him uttering and it was a very uncomfortable drive - all round. You're spot on.<BR/>At this moment I am catatonic with exhaustion and just hope I can make to my bed.<BR/>It wasn't the mileage but the speed.PIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-57140572942045796882008-10-10T04:23:00.000+01:002008-10-10T04:23:00.000+01:00<I>The next day – <B>against his better judgment</B> I persuaded MTL to drive us down the farm track.</I> (Emphasis Mine)<BR/><BR/>I do hope that YTL received some sort of reward for this at the end of the day beyond the sea bass. I pictured stereotypically stoic British gentlemen on the left side of the front seat, stiff-upper-lipping his way along a rutted farm road which he <B>knew</B> from the outset would suck in spades.<BR/><BR/>Good lord, do you realize how much this man loves you?<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Cheers, dear and thanks for the smile.
