kiwisue...
...and then Roadford Reservoir for me, cos many many years ago I was on a rescue dig there and there's actually a board in the new visitor centre with a pic of Hennard Jaffer, which was exactly where I was!
Before (when I was there!) and now... A wee bit different - just imagine that house under that water... medieval settlement, that was. Sunken settlement now, I guess...
Then further north to Exeter, where we were meetingfoxcat74. It had all been a bit Pros-less so far though - so it was a bit of a relief to drive the road to Cowley on the way... *g*
Then chatting and lunching with Pros-y people which is always lovely, and then the very cleverfoxcat74 took us to visit gorgeously 1920s Coleton Fishacre...
...which was the home of the D'oyly Cartes! So that was two out of three, but even better we could just imagine an AU 1920s fic, with our lads in evening jackets, all elegant and perhaps sharing the adjoining bedrooms... *g*
Plus of course Coleton Fishacre is gorgeous!
And I adored these deep deep purple irises...
Then off to Berry Head, where we watched sailboats crossing the sea, and wandered the Napoleonic fort, and decided that Bodie would have been in the army, and Doyle infiltrating the unit, working for Cowley of course... *g*
The fishing boats were all heading home then too, followed by trails of seagulls...
...and so did we.
To pizza and wine and George Gently - wheee! What did everyone think of it? I can't believe GG doesn't vote! How bad a message is that?! And... did Bacchus decide to stay in the end? I liked seeing his wife... I'd better not write spoilers here, but... Hmmn! *g*
And now... now we're about to dash out for our last day of holiday - back to Cambs. tonight, back to work tomorrow - waaah! Though of coursekiwisue goes on, and there are still Pros-y people around, so... It'll still be nice, right? Right? Eeep...
