Good morning, one and all from a dark but fine Torbay, from where I was delighted to make my escape yesterday, even though it was just for the day and not without a few problems!
First there were road works (replacement of crash barriers) creating tailbacks on the A380, the main road out of here. On arrival at Dartmoor View, I turned on the water, only to discover that there was a leak in the boiler cupboard! Luckily, the site manager was quickly round to fix it temporarily, pending a plumber attending. I also discovered the power had tripped out, creating some “interesting” items in the freezer, which I’d inadvertently forgotten to empty in October! ?
Overall, I completed the tasks I’d set out to do and set off for home, only to be caught in queues at the same road works, with the added annoyance of rush hour drivers seemingly oblivious to the 800 yards, 600 yards, etc signs warning of lane closures, preferring to speed along then cut in at the last minute on the diligent drivers. Nevertheless, it didn’t detract from the joy of a long drive on a beautiful day!

I really appreciated the kind wishes for my day out from you folk yesterday morning and I hope you were able to make the most of the welcome sunshine. ☀️ Thank you and I hope you enjoy whatever today brings. ?
