Even further down the country

Is it time to go now?

After the first night in Ludlow (without a nice meal) we decided to head on further down the country to Devon. We booked into a great site - Stowford Caravan Park - near Ilfracombe.

The facilities were fantastic and so well organised yet half the price of Ludlow so we booked for two nights. We arrived late on Saturday and we were 6 miles from Ilfracombe so we stayed around the site and did some chores on Kevin. The site had 3 bars, an accessory shop and a farm shop selling local produce. We had Sunday lunch at the on-site Carvery....

That was Sunday Lunch!

and had a long walk in the afternoon to walk it off. Sunday night was the night of the eclipse and there was a fantastic sunset..

but unfortunately the picture is rubbish..

Next morning (Monday) we decided to head off to our next destination, Padstow in Cornwall. I wanted to have some Fish and Chips in Rick Stien's café just to see if they were as good as his reputation. On route, I decided to do some driving (Gulp). GJ agreed but for some reason asked if I had packed any vallium tablets. He thinks I drive too fast but you have to get there as soon as possible don't you? It was great to just pull over and make a cup of coffee - simple things!
