Sunday 9th January (soon be Easter!)...

So a quick recap of the weekend. Friday night Laura & Cody came to stay we had roast chicken at home, delicious. 
Saturday they left around 4.30pm, sad now. 

6pm, we take the Lower Ferry across to Kingswear to meet cousin Tony and his wife Anne in The Ship Inn for a meal. They were down from Bristol for the weekend. The Ship Inn is a great local pub made even better by having a Ferry ride over the river and back every time you go there. Make sure you use the Lower Ferry, it drops you about 75 yds from their front door.



Ended up having Game Pie & chips which was brilliant, so tasty. The beer was excellent, Youngs bitter & Otter best. Also they have a real, proper fire:


So that was very jolly and we still like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones!

Today we drove up to the fantastic Jack In The Green Inn at Rockbeare, near Exeter Airport on the old A30. This is a great place to stop either on the way down to or on the home from Dartmouth.
It is roughly half way between Bristol and Exeter about an hour from either.

The food is stunning and the service is 1st class. Before we moved to Dartmouth we used to stop here for a meal on the way home to Somerset, to make the 'break' last just a bit longer. but be warned, you have to book.


Finally just to cheer you up here is a picture of a wonderful group who came busking to Dart Music Festival this summer. Well it was a bit of an Indian summer?
