117 - fri aug 25 - bath/devon

we said goodbye to bath and took our time heading south to devon to rendezvous with sarah's mum at her lovely cottage home. on the way we stopped at the village of glastonbury, where there were really far too many hippie and new age type shops. we had coffee, and sausage rolls for lunch. the drive along the north coast of devon was really scenic, and then we stopped again at the town of lynton, built onto the side (or on top really) of marvellous steep hills by the water. we had some wine at the pub and then sought out the local fish & chip shop for a cheap but wholly appropriate feed. then, driving through exmoor national park we were treated to some amazing high plateaus filled with heather, so lovely and exotic that we had to get out and run around in them, taking photos and stuff, until we thought we had whiplash from all the wind. there were a lot of sheep around, but we had a favourite. we got lost trying to find sarah's mum's place - mostly because we didn't actually know where it was - but after a phone call we were sorted out.
