Well not a lot yet to report on Newton Abbot we are just chilling out a bit.

Cycled into Newton Abbot today to have a look in the shops, same shops ...

Well a bit behind with the blog due to no connection so here is a quick update.
We booked into Middlewick farm for a few days before going to Dad's and Mo's for a few days whilst "No Fixed Abode" was away being fitted with a tow bar.
The farm site was very quiet and relaxing, full of sweet smells of dung and pig poop!!!!
Truck dog Poppy thought it was great fun chasing the chickens!!
Hope you like the vid and pics.

Left Art & Thurza's about 11.45 and after lunch at the Dartbridge Pub not far from Totnes we arrived at Wayne & Julia's new pad at about 3 pm.

Beautiful sunny drive across from Somerset and a warn welcome as usual from the Stonehams.

Julia has just finished a sequal to Muddy Boots and after proof reading ...

... 2 of the group were caught but only because of me, not because of the security guards.
Another of the boys who managed to get away then entered the club the following night and had the cheek to ask me how my boys were as i passed him, sat at a table with his friends. Security have told me that they do not have cctv on site so apart from the 2 that were arrested finally, the others have got away ...

... but just could not get one to fit the motor home.

If you are ever in the area Witheridge is a nice place to visit.

We left on Friday the 4th to spend some time with very old friends in the "SECRET LOCATION"

Thanks dad and Mo for having us.

Little Ted and his friends arrived at Heathrow airport. From there they drove back to Devon. Miss Williams checked her email and to the friends' delight, they had received an email from Barnaby, saying he would be flying home in the next few weeks. After a long journey and the exciting news Little Ted was exhausted so he curled up and went to bed.
