A week away - part one




This is the first proper holiday we've had in a long time, we normally do day trips or the ocassional overnight stay in a hotel. We were rather excited! 
Our accommodation for the week was a converted stable in Musbury, which isn't far from Seaton in Devon.



On our first night we found refreshments in the Lion Hotel in Lyme Regis




Monday was peeing down with rain but we'd done a little research and found out an auction would be on when we were visiting. Lyme Bay auctions, hold one a month and have two auctions running simultaneously on two floors.  I have to say this was very dangerous and I wish we'd had a van.  I had to leave so many bargains behind!













The sun finally shone and the wind was blowing when we revisited Lyme Regis on Tuesday. A little retail therapy in Seasalt and a relax on the beach was just what the doctor ordered. We found this abandoned Sandcastle which I thought was worthy of a photo. 


Wednesday we found ourselves in Weymouth.


I love "Flying Horses" these were on the seafront in a bandstand style seating area and couldn't resist a photo.


We took a trip to Exeter's Historic Quay Side on Thursday, and once we'd finally negotiated the traffic and fairly confusing road system, we could finally relax and enjoy the craft shops , glass blower, iron monger and antique centres. 

With plenty of choice of places to eat, it was worth a visit. The more adventurous could hire bikes and kayaks, we just bought an ice-cream! 




Our adventures as always, were peppered with little pit stops!

Holiday Days out : part three

With the weather still playing ball (!) Bob and I packed out beach bags and heading for Climping, a lovely beachy area nestled between Littlehampton and Worthing in West Sussex. Giving credence to the rumour that we're old before our time, we took a packed lunch, beach chairs, books, change of cloths and of course our windbreak!

We parked our car, made camp and went and got a fresh tea (natch) then spent 4 hours vegged out with our books and nibbles - perfecto!



Our boot fair fabric windbreak, purchased three years ago for the bargalicous sum of £2.50!
A constant beach necessity...



Every now and then a girl needs time just relaxing!


after an afternoon of total relaxation and slight wind burn, feet and knees (?)
we headed for a bite to eat and a meander along the Pier at worthing, then back in the car and home. 


Boo...
