I'm totally with you on the grown up- off to uni- last holiday with Mum and dad - thing... how was A-level day? Great to know there is someone else who feels how I do - and my nails survived by the way!! I love Devon and Ilfracombe - I'm such a Thomas hardy fan and it always makes the books come to life being down there.

However, you never forget the excitement of the first glimpse of the sea after a long drive to get there.

The fish was tasty indeed, cooked to perfection. They all look forward to crazy golf, they wanted to go to pitch and putt too but didn't get time. Perhaps later on in the holidays.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-58082137919470071242013-08-14T17:39:33.773+01:002013-08-14T17:39:33.773+01:00It was a lovely day out.
