Wells
... lose permanent feeling in my feet. It seemed impossible to get warm. We went to Wells Golf Club for lunch, then said goodbye to Graham and Christine, before heading home to get changed for our family photo shoot. We all 'frocked up' and drove over to just past Meare to have some family portraits taken. Am excited to see how they turn out. Quiet night in tonight playing Rummikub, and pizza for dinner.

Think we're over the jet ...

... hospitality and were not disappointed. Whilst we were there Karen's mother and sister called in to say hello too. We stayed with Karen, David and their three kids for a couple of hours before heading off to meet Geoff's other cousins for a pub lunch in Lanlivery. Despite some hair raising moments on those 'country lanes' we managed to make it to the pub for a lovely family lunch. The pub building was 700 years old! Very ...
