So we are on our travels again. A 6 or 7 week journey taking in loads of friends and family and enjoying our beautiful spring! First a picture to cheers us all up from our recent visit to Australia. All say aaah.
Our first stop on this visit took us to Newport in South Wales and meeting up with college friend Graham, his wife Penny and my godson Phil. A lovely few days spent eating, drinking and catching up and enjoying the brief sunny spells. We stayed in a National Trust campsite in parkland next to Tredegar House which was a bonus. Many thanks to Graham & Penny for their hospitality.
Last Sunday we left for Plymouth stopping off in a downpour of biblical proportions at another NT property Tyntesfield. There was a waiting time to get in of over 3 hours and so wet were the conditions we took a quick picture and left. Another time maybe.
We arrived at the Riverside Campsite in heavy rain and until today Friday 27 April it has rained at some time every day. Anyway we have seen our friends Roger (who I shared a house with about 35 years ago! and his wife Jan and quite fortuitously another friend Steve who happened to be working in Exeter. So lots to catch up on and more photos next blog. We took our bikes out for the first time on Tuesday and cycled to the nearby NT property Saltram House, pictured below along with some resident Guinea Fowl.
I will try and send another post on Sunday; then one a week on Sundays.
love
J&P
