Irritated Nerves

No, I’m not suffering from PMT or any other hormonal problems at the moment.  In fact I feel quite relaxed and happy since I handed my notice in at work, especially since my workload has plummeted and I get loads of free time at work .  No-one wants me to start anything now as [...]

Paignton Zoo

I’ve never been a fan of zoos as such, I always have pictures in my head of caged animals going demented through lack of space, although I do realise that most modern zoos aren’t like that at all. We decided on a day out at Paignton Zoo though, Little’un is such an animal fanatic that [...]

There is a plague upon this land

Not that I read The Sun you understand. I got the link from elsewhere. No, I really did.

If you have a child that think that the epitome of all that is good is a place that has trains, a beach, sea, pebbles, ducks and ice-cream then Dawlish is the place to go. It’s a very pretty seaside town right on the main train line between London and Plymouth and also has a [...]

Torbay – The English Riviera

Our first holiday trip out was to find somewhere to get a replacement for our blown out tyre. Easier said than done on a Sunday in rural Devon… we drove around Torbay looking for an open garage without any success at all. There’s loads to see and do in the Torbay area though, and we [...]

A trip to Devon

In time-honoured British tradition, it was pissing down and blowing a gale last Saturday as we set off for our “summer” holiday. The weather was worsening the further southwest we drove as well, and considering that we had a looooong way to go, we were expecting to be swept away by the time we finally [...]

I’m back

Just got back from a week in sunny Devon.  We had a fab time.  Expect to be inundated with rambly posts about days out in Devon with a 2 year old over the next couple of days .
