PRE BIRTHDAY TREAT





Pete and I dont often have any time at all. But I thought I would surprise him with a day out for his birthday at the end of the week. I wanted to make the most of the day to have as much time as possible, so we were up anyway to see Steve off with the Cornwall squad at 5.30 so after he went and the animals were sorted we left for the day....7.20am to be precise!! bags on the bike and off we cycled to the train station...ahhh I know how to make his day relaxing don't I!!! I figure you only live once so make the most of it before someone thinks you aren't enjoying it enough it and whips it away!! SO caught the train to Exeter and picked up a cycle link to Teignmouth 18 miles there and 18 back. Lovely cycle, some bits were really hard but mostly all ok, I never know how I am going to be, just hope!!....We had a pic nic at double locks, past the stags and deer near powderham castle and then on to lunch in a seafood place in Teignmouth, its really pretty along there, I have never thought of visiting that area before, but will definitely go back some time. We looked at all the sculpture along the front, had another pic nic coffee and cake and cycled back to the train at 8.20pm which we found out when we got there had broken down so we were stranded in Exeter!!! All sorted eventually and got home, very tired!! Oh Steve won his match for Cornwall though!....The only thing about having any time at all away from here is that you have to work twice as hard and longer when you get back!!!
