A day by the seaside

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside… after a lifetime by the sea, one quick peek never fails to salve the soul. Especially on days like this:

After a few fraught weeks I decided a self-imposed day by the sea was in order, so frog-marched the OH off for breakfast this morning, here at The Clocktower overlooking Jacob’s Ladder, my childhood beach of choice for a spot of rockpooling

We opted for two of the fresh, home-cooked fry-ups packed with locally sourced produce (don’t get me started on the sausages), all served up alongside this view – beats a greasy spoon huh?

With full bellies and pink noses we hopped back in the car and whizzed up and over Peak Hill through Otterton to Budleigh Salterton, the next seaside town along, with wild garlic and poppies tickling our wing mirrors all the way. We were lured along the bay by the promise of an antiques/flea market which didn’t turn up any gems, but did afford us the excuse for a wander along the beach with an ice cream, like proper tourists.

We didn’t return home empty handed after all,  stumbling across a newly opened ‘curiosity’ shop at the top of the high street. We came away with: a 60s water carafe, vintage Italian photography book and this brilliantly apt tome for my NW1-born and bred father-in-law with a house in Somerset.

The happy memory bank and tan are both suitably topped up.

  • I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate proprietors, you'll be able to come to understand that, in each and every real estate exchange, a commission is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers really don't "save" the fee. Rather, they struggle to earn the commission by means of doing an agent's task. In doing so, they shell out their money along with time to conduct, as best they're able to, the duties of an realtor. Those obligations include displaying the home via marketing, presenting the home to prospective buyers, developing a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, handling qualification assessments with the bank, supervising repairs, and assisting the closing.

  • If you could message me with a few pointers about how you made your blog site look this good, Id appreciate it.

  • Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

  • Thank you for another informative web site. The place else may just I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect approach? I have a undertaking that I am just now operating on, and I've been on the look out for such information.

  • I have acquired some new elements from your internet site about pc's. Another thing I have always thought is that computer systems have become a product that each household must have for many people reasons. They provide convenient ways to organize the home, pay bills, go shopping, study, hear music and in some cases watch shows. An innovative method to complete these tasks is by using a notebook. These personal computers are mobile ones, small, powerful and portable.

  • A different issue is really that video gaming has become one of the all-time largest forms of excitement for people of any age. Kids participate in video games, plus adults do, too. The XBox 360 has become the favorite gaming systems for those who love to have a huge variety of games available to them, plus who like to experiment with live with people all over the world. Thank you for sharing your thinking.
