We went down to Devon on Saturday for a couple of days to visit M.I.L. - It was a bright and sunny day (after a horrendous night of rain and high winds) - with good views all the way down the M4/M5.
As we were travelling down I spied some sheep, well lots of them actually, but in one field there were three lambs, a single and twins, a bit early I should think but given the temperatures in these parts have been around 10 degrees Celsius recently, the sheep must have thought it was time to do their business.
On Sunday we drove from Exeter up to Dartmoor, again the weather was lovely. We stopped in a nice old pub, with peat fires for a Mulled Wine, and then onto Tavistock for a look around the town and a quick snack in a nice place called Cafe Liaison, where there was a musician. Mind you, I am not so sure I would like to live on Dartmoor - when we went into the pub the sun was shining and when we came out barely half hour later fog was coming down. Driving away from there, within 10 minutes we were in sunshine again. It was also nice not to have it get so dark so early, as it stays lighter later in those parts.
Today we came back home, and I have just had my knee reviewed. Healing slowing is the surgeon's opinion and I have to go back in four months.
This week end I have been working in the Isle of Wight, and at the B & B we were staying at we came across a dog called Whiskey - a terrier - and do you know what we discovered - he is the only dog known that has his own account at the Lifeboat Station. He has a fetish for tennis balls, and runs off way in front of his owners and help himself to one from the dispay. On the till is a piece of paper marked 'Whiskey's account' and they note the amount of balls he takes, for his owner to pay for when he finally catches up with him
