Back home

We’re back from the country where we spent time visiting friends and family over Christmas. First stop was The George at Norton St Philip. A lovely old coaching inn which served a great breakfast!

The weather before Christmas was gorgeous, cold and crisp with a deep frost.

Then on to Exeter where we stayed at the Royal Clarence. We felt like we were the only ones staying there as it was so quiet. We had some time on Christmas Eve to visit the beautiful town of Totnes. There were loads of wonderful shops and I definitely want to go back next time we are in Devon.
We received some lovely, thoughtful presents. Lots of Cath Kidston and Dr Haushka presents for me, the Cranford trilogy, The Cute Book, other craft books and a great 5 year diary from here. Robin also had lots of books so we shall be busy throughout the cold winter months.
We returned home today via a country walk with friends over the muddy fields near Corton Denham. Sales shopping tomorrow!
