Since returning today i have spent hours trying to get some boots. Yep we came back to find this part of the country has been having snow. Lucky us we escaped all but a light dusting last night.
No luck shops sold out of my size and i was not a happy bunny when a shop assistant offered me a pair of just above ankle length fur boots, the type my mother used to wear!! now ready for those just yet. So off to the big town on Thursday by the look of things.
Friday, we left at 0400hrs to travel down and miss the traffic says Tim. Well its a bit of adventure so i didn't mind, much!!
The drive down was quiet and by the time we reached Bristol the Temp was -4.5 not looking good, and as daylight came the sun was casting shadows over the frost covered fields and hills a buzzard glided on the wind just to the side of the car. The sheep with their winter coats proudly marching in single file, heads held high climbing ever upwards. Strange to see considering all our land is so flat in the fens.
It was strange driving on the M5 to see the frost covered fields on the left and the clear fields on the right where the sun had reached. Another buzzard.
Tim made good time really and we reached Torquay at 10am to glorious sunshine and the Temp had raised another 13 degrees.. It was really warm. We went and sat round the harbour and sunbathed. OK we had our coats on but the glasses were pushed up on top of my head, eyes closed head back and sigh. we needed this.
Returning to the car we passed a small kiosk which was open!!! and in the window shouting out at me was a small fridge magnet and on it it said... Don't count the days, make the days count. An omen/ i think so in i went and purchased it. I have it here beside me as i write!
Lunch El fresco and headed to accommodation to settle in. 3pm and the day was drawing to a close!! Wonderful lodge, bottle of wine waiting and the heating on, beautiful. View was stunning. We could feel ourselves relaxing.
Unpack short rest and decided to go to the cinema. What a mistake, the phone started to ring. That it was it for the night. Tim didn't grumble but suggested next time we come away to leave the wretched thing behind!!! Sounds like a good plan!!!
So it was a quick snack and an early night
Already it felt like a weight had lifted.
I'm actually really tired!! so its bed for me and i will continue with the eventful weekend!! later, in fact I'm going to save it because tomorrow is another day..............
