So boys and girls, did we enjoy
ourselves last night?
Yes we did.
Cant wait to see what tonight's
entertainment will be.
We were royally entertained by a very
versatile chap called Wayne Martin. He treated us to an all singing
all dancing evening. His DVD/music CD is titled 'Live,Bald and
Beautiful'. The first two are
right, but beautiful, well he did have an great voice.
It's
ages and ages since The Man and I had a bit of a jiggle around on
the dance floor.
What
about today's outing.
Well
boys and girls are you sitting comfortably...good, then I'll begin.
We
piled onto the coach after breakfast and the driver took us to a nice
seaside town called Dawlish I think most of our coachmates headed for
the shops or the pubs, but The Man and I went entirely in the
opposite direction towards the beach.
I wish
I could bottle the smell.
Both
of us inhaled the scent of it deeply. Oooooo it waslovely.
Oh how
we miss that.
It was
lovely to stroll along the beach.
One
thing we do like to do is to lookout for interesting shells and
stones, we did find a few, but only kept one of each.
Back
in the town we had time for a quick look in the touristy shops.
And
what did we buy?
A
lovely shell, nothing local, but a lovely murex specimen to add to
our collection.
Back
on the coach for a short trip to 'tine-muth' well thats how it
sounds, but spelling it is quite different it's Tei

Coach
driver left us with a friendly wave and a 'I'll be back at
three' Lovely, we have three
hours to have a look about and another beach walk.
After
a nice lunch at The Beachcomber...very original name for a café on
the beach don't you think, we felt a bit of moisture in the air so
what better place to while away a couple of hours than a visit to the
local heritage centre.
'Walk
along there' the chap who gave
us directions said 'Then down French Street and it will be
right in front of you' and it
was.
It's
called French street because that's who burnt it down in July 1690.
By the
time we came out the rain had stopped and it was time for us to walk
back to the coach and return to our hotel.
Not to
be ones to sit around The Man and I had a quick refreshment break
before stretching our legs and having a bit of a walk before tea.
What
do you think of the views.
