Pros Travelblog - Day Twelve - Monday - Devon and home...

[byslantedlight]

Hey honey, I'm ho-ome... (*is very brave and doesn't cry much*)

'tis the end of Bank Holiday Monday, and here we are back in Cambridgeshire, and it's raining outside...

But this morning we were still at foxcat75's place, and after a quick bout of Pros this morning, she took us to see...


...the underground tunnels of Exeter...


...where there were skeletons... (Apparently the poor chap was cycling along on his Penny Farthing and didn't notice that the olde plumbers had left the cover off the hole in the road... and now and again visitors can hear his cycle zhoooshing along the passages, and perhaps feel the gentle breeze of his passing...) Or, you know, the bicycle bell that our guide rang when he turned off the lights... *g* It was quite fun, anyway! And kiwisue has some fab shots from her camera, which you must nag her to post! *g*

Then we had Starbucks (wheee, not had Starbucks for... well, probably weeks!) and then we wandered around the Cathedral, hunting for little faces...


...and looking at fab doors...


...and then... and then...

...we realised that we had had all the lads yesterday after all - Cowley Bridge, D'oyly Cartes and...


But the-en... after a final Pros ep, kiwisue and I waved goodbye to foxcat75, our last Pros-y visit of the trip, and set off eastwards... and we mostly missed the traffic, and found takeaway for dinner, and now here we are...

Shame I have to go to bed in a bit rather than catching up on my flist... but maybe I can read a little Pros before sleep..? And work? There must be Pros! I need comfort-Pros to make up for being back at home again! Although I guess there's always Discovered on a Hardrive - six days left! I should go and write a WIP! Is anyone else going to post WIPs? That'd be something Pros-y to look forward to... *g*

I'm glad you made it back ok and that there were no more "people on the road" on the way home. And ugh, I really don't want to go back to work today either. But on the plus side, I'll probably spend most of the time day-dreaming about Bodie and Doyle playing crazy golf on the seafront or playing arcade games on the pier, or of 1930s Bodie and Doyle solving an Agatha Christie style mystery at a luxury house on the cliff edge while at the same time being all dashing and sophisticated and slashy...

Oh, excellent, I'm glad you found Collins Road! And your whole day sounds very good. (Although I think Jack and Bodie from Larton would have come up with a better story for the poor skeleton....) Shame about being back a work, but I'm still holding out hope for the weekend after next!

Ah, yes, er, the DIALJ story. Well...I will be posting one but, um, late. But I am bound and determined to finish one of them!

Good luck with work!

We probably almost crossed paths at some point - fledge and I went to Swindon and back from Manchester to visit eilidh_morveren. I was amazed at how light the traffic was for a Bank Hoiday Monday but at a service station on the way home we realised that most of the population of Burnley were on their way home from Wembley and maybe that scared other road-users away?

Yay! You got all the guys! :D

And this has been a fun trip to follow! I thank you "hugely" for sharing this with us! *hugs* ;P

It has been wonderful reading your travellogue - you made it so real and almost like we were there with you (wish I had have been *sobs*)

Ooh and I must email you about something *g*

You make me so ashamed - all these years of living fairly close to Exeter, and even working there for a while, and I've never ever actually been into the tunnels - and they look wonderful! Next time I'm over that way with an hour to kill, that's what I'm going to do.

Glad you had such a good time and got home safely - I know the traffic was horrendous ::shudders::
