A lovely break

Not much to do with brain injury but just posting after having a short break down in Dorset and Devon.

Just me and my wife.....makes a change. Love the grandkids but it's nice to just chill.

Even claimed another eye/big wheel in Torquay....Not good with my fear of heights but a great view of Torbay.

Now just the 5 hour journey home. Ok nearer 10 if you include the stops.

Oh an off to a wedding tomorrow . ...Oh the busy hectic life I lead.

Tried uploading a pic but it will not load..sorry

Hope everyone is well.

Off for a break next week too. But I won't be going on a wheel. I loathe heights. Yes the journey are a pain, but necessary.

Glad you had a good time.

Never been down to Devon but I know many people who've fallen in love with the place. Well done for braving the Eye Pax ! I imagine it's not as scary as open rides as you're in a pod. (I should talk ; I go into meltdown on 'down' escalators !)

Glad to hear you and Mrs Pax had some 'you' time. Enjoy the wedding. Love Cat x

Devon is great and yes the eye was enclosed......Only way I would go on as have a tenancy to want to jump....Not the best thing to do I know.

Yes had a great time and finally got home after the long drive back.

Time for beat sleep now before wedding tomorrow.

Hi Pax, Jules here

Great news you and Mrs Pax got some chilling time together... I know Bude quite well - beautiful scenery and beach memories.

We have inherited a Dalmatian now so will be looking for a country retreat with him soon (hopefully)

Kept to south Devon this time. Although all Devon is beautifully. Then again I think I am lucky living in Yorkshire ..God's own county.

Hi Pax

Lovely to hear from you agsin. I was at uni down in Devon. Lovely area. Do people down there still call everyone 'my lover' all the time?

Must get back one day, do a rekkie see how much it has all changed...

Yep you can hear the locals end a sentence with " my lover" all the time. I know I am getting old but when an eighty plus woman says it to you it startles you a little......mind you when it's a man I choke on my latte.

Great place as I said before.
