Seaton

After breakfast this morning we walked out with Trudy & Andrew and their dogs to Kennall Vale, a beautiful woodland with remnants of it's industrial past as a gunpowder factory.

En-route as we walked through the village, we admired the colourful flowers scrambling over stone walls. There was something to admire at every turn.

At lunchtime we bid our farewells and headed into nearby Penryn where we stopped to lunch by the harbour. The tide was out, and boats sat on the mud flats in a state of collapse, waiting to be righted on the incoming tide. In the shallows a lone swan dived into the weed taking advantage of the low tide to feed. lunch eaten we drove to a nearby industrial estate to collect our grotto mirror from Creams warehouse.

The mirror seemed a lot larger than we remembered and to keep it safe for the journey we secured it across our bed. The drive from Penryn to Exmouth was long and tedious. We'd decided on this visit to

Exmouth to stay on the seafront, cost £11.00.

Mistake. After we'd showered, eaten our evening meal and taken a short walk we were displeased to see some young girls parked right next to us in their car playing music loudly. After a few words were

exchanged we decided it best to move on. Time now 9.15 pm, too late to drive to Poole, so we re-routed to Seaton where we are now spending the night.

As soon as we arrived some young men in vans admired Marge. She just an't help herself! They've gone now, but assured us we'd be O.K. here. So, here's hoping. It certainly seems very quiet at the moment. According to Google, the population of Seaton as a whole is older than the Cumbrian average (odd statistic!!!), and older than the national average.hopefully tomorrow morning the view we have now of the headland in the darkness peppered with a few lights will be fantastic in the morning.

Mean while, the logistics of the grotto mirror have to be addressed so we can go to bed!
