Global warming? My feet are freezing!

Well it sure was chilly down Exmoor way. We spent a lovely if not icy week
at Dulverton on the southern edge of the moor. The small town is sat in a
valley in the surrounding hills and does not get too many hours of sunshine
at this time of the year. The days were bright and sunny and the nights were
below freezing. Thankfully Noddy has been keeping us nice and warm during
the chilly periods, and as a reward we treated him to some nice insulation
on some external pipe work. Well we don't want his waterworks freezing do
we!
We enjoyed some very nice walks and cycles around and about in the sunshine,
but on the day we went up to the coast at Lynmouth we got fogged in. Up on
the moor it was warm and sunny, but we could see the cloud rolling in below
us where the coast should have been. Lynmouth was fairly deserted,
unsurprisingly, but we found a fudge shop that was open and sampled the
local produce, yum.
The best day out was our trip to Honiton and our afternoon at the Land Rover
Experience centre. We had a great time putting a new 110 Defender Station
Wagon through its paces both on and off road, very addictive stuff! Since
the drive we have been heavy into reading up on Land Rovers and getting
further along the road of planning our future 'dream' trips around the
world, by road. Watch this space!
After Dulverton we ventured down to Looe for a few days. The weather got a
bit warmer, but it also got a lot wetter. We managed to cycle into Looe on
our first day, all down hill on the way, all uphill on the way back. Sadly
after that most of our time was spent sheltering in Noddy from the heavy
horizontal drizzle, not nice.
The weather followed us back east to Wareham where it changed, but for the
worst. We had some very heavy rain and blustery gale force winds. We did
manage an outing into Bournemouth to meet up with some old friends, which
was great.
We are now back at Broadway as Noddy had to go back to his makers again to
have the final work done on him. I hope that we wont have to make any more
visits especially as our warranty has now expired and we will not get any
more freebies.
From here we head back to Gatwick for a week or so, and then probably back
into Europe sometime in December. Well that is we can ever make our mind up
on where we want to head for!

Cheers for now
