Lunchtime at England's smallest city.

The Journey

Girls can now be cool on their return to school claiming, perfectly honestly, that they "went to Glastonbury"

Day Nine :: Home Time

Day Eight :: Sidmouth

Back to Sidmouth for out last day here. Lovely sunny day meant that Charlotte and Liberty couldn't wait to get into the sea.

This was followed by the legendary "Taste of Sidmouth" ice creams. Believe it or not, the ice creams below are "small"!

After a swim (in the pool) for Geoff and Lindsey we headed back to the caravan where the girls stayed to watch TV while we nipped for a last visit to Beer.

Finally back to the caravan for the traditional plasticine model making. You can be the judge of the best ....

Morris Dancer

Stonehenge

The Seaside

Busker

Early start tomorrow for the journey north. Back early evening, traffic permitting :)

Day Seven :: Sidmouth, Sun and Swimming

A sunny day today, so we headed to Sidmouth.

Lots of wandering around the craft tents, listening to the music, watching the dancing and generally walking too much :)

Girls ended up paddling I the sea which inspired them to go swimming later, albeit in the comfort of the indoor pool rather than the sea.

Day Six :: Exeter

Decision made this morning given the cooler weather to head to Exeter for some retail therapy. A drive to the outskirts then onto the park and ride.

We separated in Exeter to allow the girls to visit the usual Lush, Cath Kidston, Thornton's, etc.

Saw this shop we thought the girls should visit. They loved it but was a bit too pricey to part them with their money.

Called at Budleigh Salterton on the way home but rain had started by then so just a quick beach visit to see the "unique pebbles" washed up from Brittany some 350 million years ago and, of course, take some photos.

An early night back at the caravan as Lindsey and Geoff are having their meal prepared for them by Charlotte and Liberty.

Oh, yes, and then there's some TV programme that's a must tonight! Bake Off :)
