TSH and Diva are beside the silver sea rather than actually on it this time. Well, they are overlooking the river Taw and it's low tide so it's a bit mudflat-ish but the view is very open and not overlooked. The day started in traditional fashion with an English breakfast at the local cafe. The breakfasts are always excellent but they seem to have increased the quantity whilst keeping the quality at least as good.
An uneventful journey was followed by a short walk round the shops, where Diva bought a new hairbrush. Barnstaple is a mixture of seaside, historic market town and standard shops geared to older people. The Imperial is as it sounds. Old-fashioned but in a good way with what looks like a very recent sympathetic renovation. When reception rang to check that everything was OK, Diva was able to tell them that her cleaning inspection had not managed to find any dust. A rare event. The compliment will be passed to the cleaning team.
Fruit, chocolates, biscuits and water in the room was a welcome sight.
TSH and Diva are both enjoying the holiday very much.
