We’re very excited as Marilyn and Ian coming to visit today!
They arrived about 3ish and we had a cup of tea at the van before taking them for a walk down to the beach. Then had a few drinks in the Queens Head and home to van about 11 drunk as lords!
Next day we met up at Wetherspoons for a hearty breakfast and then walked to the beach. We had a look around Minehead’s railway museum, a working steam railway which is free to enter (just give a donation if you enjoy it) we had a walk around the platform, the carriages and the turntable before heading back around the harbour and then up North Hill, where we discovered the Church steps which is a lovely little stepped street in the old part of the town with lots of little thatched cottages. Back to the van for a bite to eat and then our visitors had to leave for home, lovely to see you though!
On Monday Phil went and revisited Dunkery beacon on the bike, it was still foggy on the top, but it was worth it for the descent, rocky and fast. Linda took the dogs to the beach for a few hours, where they tired themselves out for the day!
We’ve now moved on to Bodmin. Only just got here, but we’ve had a brief walk with the dogs down the lane to the Camel Trail, a cycle/walking trail which follows the length of the river Camel. Along the trail we discovered Bodmin’s steam railway station, this is a short steam railway run by enthusiasts and a great tourist attraction, unfortunately trains don’t run until the end of Feb, so we won’t see any.
Thanks to everyone for your comments on the blog, it’s good to hear from you!

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteMake sure you ride all the way along the Camel trail so you can have fish & chips in Padstow. There is also a lovely little cafe along the way but not sure it would be open this time of year but you could visit the vinyard and sample some local wines (as if you haven't sampled enough)! Missing you both it is very quiet at work without you!!!!! We now know who made all the noise.
Enjoy
Zoe, Spence & Hazzer xx
look out for the beast of bodmin! sweeney'll scare it off though i'm sure.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you both, really enjoyed our visit!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you both in March for Ian's 60th (Got to get that in!)
Love mum and Ian
