For the sake of brevity I am not going to write a full script of our lovely break in Devon. Suffice to say we had a great time. Weather unusually warm, we saw all the family. Malc is doing reasonably well but a lot on his plate as they are going to move into a […]

Tomorrow Sue and I are off to Devon for a week. We are really looking forward to meeting Malc and family but also to some time to chill out. Having had to cancel Spain in April and again for this month, the virus has a lot to answer for. But then we are the lucky […]
