Lovely day out last week, haven’t been here since I was little! The girls really enjoyed themselves, the animals were really friendly and bonus that there were hardly any queues… I think Chris did 20 laps on the rollercoaster! 😂

Delicious carvery at lunchtime today, we had to try out what some of our guests had been telling us! It did not disappoint and was great value for money especially on a weekday too! Can’t believe it’s taken us how many years to visit here! Definitely recommend 😋

Lovely day out on the train down to Exeter for what was supposed to be a rainy day but ended up beautifully sunny ☀️
The four of us had off peak group save tickets which worked out at £9 return each, girls happy 🙈 with sushi 🍣 bubble tea🧋and a bit of shopping, then ended up with a an hour playing ping pong 🏓 at Princesshay.

Delicious dinner at Lynbay Fish & Chip Shop tonight. Lightly battered, not greasy and the girls loved that they put the TV on for them and Madagascar was showing while they cooked it, we only waited a few minutes. Friendly staff and great gluten free and vegan menu too.

We’re almost there, the weather has really held back the job of laying the slabs and sorting drainage. There’s a little painting, grouting and pointing left to do this week and the house will be ready for the summer. It’s been worth the wait. 😊
Now we just need some blue sky and sunshine!

Thank you for the delicious chocolate scone, simnel cake and lentil soup at lunchtime today.
The chocolate scones were so big the girls couldn’t finish them but parents weren’t allowed to help, they are being saved until tea time!

Exploring to the west yesterday we visited the beautiful old fishing village of Clovelly. Privately owned by one family for the last 250 years, it was once owned by the Queen of England too! You can look around a traditional fishing cottage and Kingsley Museum, enjoy the picturesque views as you head up or down the steep cobbled streets and stroke the donkeys. If once you’ve headed down you don’t fancy the walk/climb back up there’s a ride in the back of a Land Rover!

Decided we needed to do a little research and stop for coffee (and cake!) on our way into town yesterday morning at The Lime Kiln Cafe. Feels like the new slipway and watersports centre has been a while in the making but totally worth waiting for. Friendly staff and the food coming out looked delicious too. Lovely atmosphere, we will be back for lunch!

Making the most of the morning sunshine! Up early for a morning paddle with the girls and the beach to ourselves for over an hour before the cloud has come over.

🦌 Good morning! 🦌
Look who visited this morning! Nibbling the couple of apples that were on the ground and helping us keep the grass short! 🍎🍏

Peaceful visit to National Trust’s Arlington Court, 25 mins away by car and a lovely MOG trail for younger ones for the summer. The carriage museum was pretty impressive, house was beautiful and games on the lawn kept us entertained for a quite while.

Couldn’t stop without a cream tea, the raspberry and ginger scones didn’t need jam, just clotted cream! 😋

Amazing how quickly the RNLI crew responded and were out on the water as we walked past this afternoon. Very impressive to watch the tractor take such a huge lifeboat down the beach, into the sea and complete the launch.
In awe of the selfless men and women who give up their time and take the risks to keep us all safe.

Thank you for another delicious meal Maria and Tom 😋 Never disappointed, great burgers, awesome salads and perfectly crispy chips.
Loving the new shed, looks wonderful and so much choice! 🐣🌸🍔🥗🍟🌼🐰
