Good morning from Exeter where it still, of course, is dark.
My goodness, ash, not one but two shiners! Hop3 5heu disappear fast. Arnica?
We have had a lovely time yesterday.
As the AirB&B didn’t accept us until the afternoon,we went to Exmouth, where we had a lovely walk on the beach, had the inevitable ice cream before lunch! Mistake. I was quite full for a delicious eggs florentine in a small cafe off the seafront.
After getting to the AirB&B, which is an apartment in a redundant hospital - either convalescent home or “loony bin” - went to a nearby Tesco superstore. I know, I know, small things and all that, but this one had a huge F&F section. My black winter trousers are about 10 years ok£ and showing their age… DD found some black T-shirts that she uses as stock, making two holes for her dog collar - much cheaper than the”proper “ ones!
We then took the train to the centre of Exeter where we got to the Cathedral on time for evensong. Cue tearfulness from me; DH loved evensong in different cathedrals. It was a very long service indeed - apparently the choristers call that psalm the “death psalm”, it’s incredibly long - takes 5 pages in the hymnal! No. 78?
We then went to Babylon, the best Turkish restaurant in Exeter according to trip advisor. Lovely meal, then train back, where DD watched Traitors. I don’t like it; too much messing around with people’s minds.
Today, much of the same - cave walk, too much food, lots of chatting.
This is the longest time I have spent with DD on her own since she was pregnant with DGD1 17 years ago! We seem to be ok, although I’m careful in the topics I bring up…
Trust you will all have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩
