After so much sightseeing around Britain, we have finally slowed down and chilled out this week. Well that is partly because Andy the Landy “pulled a muscle” on the drive down from Penzance and so believe it or not, we have been using public transport… (eek). I claimed it was an attempt to reduce our carbon footprint! But after being beaten by a 50cc moped in a drag race at the lights! I thought it might be prudent to rest the Landy and give us the best chance to get Sarah to Dorset and Monkey World.
Our caravan site has spectacular views over the river Dart and the evening sunsets have been simply stunning and has the added bonus of a frequent bus service… something I would never normally admit! 
We walked down to the local beach and enjoyed our own little cove and although the water was way too cold for swimming, we did have a bit of a paddle! It was so peaceful and felt like our own little bit of heaven for the day.
For the first time in about 20 years we got on a bus! We headed into Brixham to see the pirates and walked in the sunshine to the old forts at Berry Head.
We also found another local National Trust place which we could walk down the lane to from our site... Agatha Christie’s summer cottage… well it looked more like a mansion and was set in 33 acres of land.
Joke: Why are pirates great…….. because they aaarrrhhh
We have been given a head start on the next leg as the site owner has kindly offered to tow the caravan up to the top of the first hill with his tractor… (he also offered us £1,000 for the Landy … hmmm very tempting).
Fingers crossed we should make it to Dorset...
