We've got a new car

I've never had one before and I'm not likely to have another. Ok yes it's only the courtesy car whilst ours is fixedbut....I've got a new car!

It's a vauxhall medina or mecca or something. You know, the one driven by the little lads with yorkshire accents on the telly.

We're on the road to nowhere

I guess this will only be of interest to absent North Devonians and Adam! They had one of those civic, round-table, jolly, charity, pay a quid to walk on a bridge you've already paid for ceremonies to open the new bridge. It isn't actually "open" not to traffic anyway. The Gazette said "up to 20,000" yes twenty thousand people were expected. Now, maybe that was enough to put off the other 19,800 or maybe it was the rain. For me it was the surf. Eventually we wandered round the corner at about 5pm and got on for free. A small victory but still a victory!

So that's the view from our bedroom window, landscaping to follow, the town fron the bridge, nut + tall = Nuttall. Very chirpy workers - must be on double-time! Finally they've built a marina, so we expect to see more yachts, tycoons and superstars than Noel Edmunds and Sally Gunnell in future.

Help the Homeless

As you probably know we're kind-hearted souls always willing to help our fellow humans and other animals, so when a poor hungry homeless person is looking for a bed for the night and his first hot meal 3 days, who are we to deny him?

If he'd only knocked on the door..........................





Instead he picked up 3 rocks thoughtfully left lying around by Nutalls or the council after the fence building and hurled them at close range at our car. He then went to the other end of the street where he set fire to a neighbour to be's (they haven't actually moved in yet!) fence panel to keep himself warm until we got the police catering dept. arrived. Seems he had nowhere else to go! I blame Thatcher!!! Oh and Sam's lost a tooth and I didn't get the job I was after. still, there's always tomorrow!
