East Woodlands Farmhouse Barnstaple

It was getting late after all our super day of sightseeing. The plan was to spend the night in a caravan park somewhere by the ocean, and fill up the water in the van, have a hot shower and relax.

The park we were set on was to our uneducated ears, expensive at £22, after all, we are only parking on their land and using a few of their facilities... and we are on a ...

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 Totnes and Wayne & Julia on Friday to cross Dartmoor on our way to Lona's ancestrial home at Bideford in North Devon. Interesting trip, we found Haytor, probably the highest point on the moor. Typical local council, they put the carpark alongside the road and make your climb best part of a mile up on to the high point. Not fit enough for that caper but we made it. After that we stopped at the ...

Tomorrow we leave, have to take truck dog Poppy to the vet, the vet has to check she does not have rabies and he will then issue her passport!!

We then travel to Looe for the weekend, fingers crossed weather is OK. But then if it is raining i might get some rest, i am all wore out, didn't know this holiday lark was such hard work!!

All for now.

Anyone any ideas where the secret location was?

Feel free to email us love to hear from you.

We arrived at Witheridge to spend some time with dad a Mo and collect the truck dog poppy! She had spent the week with them as it might have been too much excitement for her in Dorset.

We even got to sleep in the house in a real bed and have a BATH!! No we ...

We have continued to eat our way around the world with authentic Lindt chocolate (with the factory conveniently located a 5 min ...

... exactly pack that many clothes. By the end of the day, despite a few thrilling games of Jenga lol, I was more than ready to head out and have a look around.

On Wednesday we left the cottage at 10:30am and drove first to the The Jamaica Inn on the borders of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Built as a coaching house in 1750, it is famous for being the base of smugglers in the past and known as the setting for Daphne du Maurier's novel of the same name.

Unfortunately it has left him with some brain damage to the frontal lobe of his brain and he has memory, cognitive and reasoning problems. He also suffers from constant headaches, strange sensations in his head and the list goes on.

Then on through Mary Tavy onto the Fox & Hounds. I used to travel this road everyday when I worked in Tavistock . AA went off to see the landlord to pay for the pitch & I went off for a quick explore. Just beside the camp site was a dirt track which led to a gate to the Moors. Just beyond the gate was a mound, with 2 air vents sticking up, so Im thinking its simialr to some shelter just passed Ojkehampton Army camp. Except this ...

It's weird being back here in Crediton getting back into the swing of work and the prospect of being on my own again.

Our last day of travel was pretty uneventful we just had a quick drive through Dartmoor. I showed mum Hay Tor, the Dartmoor ponies and we stopped for an icy pole.

I really enjoyed this trip and all the ...
