NORTH DEVON

We spent the last week of the summer hols, down in Devon visiting my family. We were there for four days, and although it poured down for three of them, we still managed to get to the beach, see some family, meet up with friends (Hey Jo!) and visit some cool places.
Although I grew up in Ilfracombe, Woolacombe is my favourite place along the North Devon coastline. It's where I remember spending the entire 6 weeks summer holidays as a child. It's where I remember being a teenage girl, sun bathing & boy chasing with my two of my best friends Kelly & Jem. It's where I remember spending long summers nights at the Red Barn & the Marisco with my other best friend Caz, before either hitching a ride home with some locals or spending the night sleeping in her car. Woolacombe beach was the place that the mister chose to propose to me way back in 2003 - man alive, that was 9 years ago!!
Anyway, scooting over that last part where I realise i'm hurtling towards 33 at break-neck-speed *le sigh*, Woolacombe is where it's at for me, and it seems my kiddos love it just as much...

Before we embarked on the long ride home we finally got a chance to potter around Ilfracombe & Combe Martin in the sunshine... finally!

THE LONG DRIVE HOME

We spent last week in North Devon with my family (post coming soon) and we decided to take the scenic route home across Exmoor. To describe the views as mind blowing would be a massive understatement, it was all so beautiful and reminded me so much of my favourite place on earth, Big Sur in California.
Take a look at our long drive home...
