On the road again

The badger, our mascot & the SatNav, our guide and saviour

Tomorrow (Wednesday 7 August) we leave Porlock for Abinger Common in Surrey for our house sit to keep Daisy and Poppy company for the next three weeks.  It should be a 4-hour journey.  We'll see as our road trips always seem to take longer than we think.

After visiting Lynmouth this morning we returned back here to Porlock and had lunch at a local tea shop.  I had a tasty Ploughmans (the first whilst being in the UK), which is a very English platter of either meats/cheese with pickle, pickle onion, bread and salad.  Jim had a ham and cheese sandwich.  I had a small pot of green and cherry tea, it was so light and refreshing, I must remember the mix.  After lunch we retired back to our room (retired - makes us sound like a pair of elderly people).  I spent the afternoon catching up on blogging and Jim has done what he does best - investigating things (his words).
