Today we went to Barnstaple because Hilary's Great Grandfather was a vicar there as we had no information a phone call was made to her cousin who gave us a place name.
A bit of Google research gave us the Facebook page for the Church which I requested if anyone had any information and they supplied a list of vicars that had been there and on which he was listed being there in 1911.

Later this afternoon we travelled to Hartland Quay, it seems this area has one major road the A39 the rest are single track roads where we met several tractors and obviousally it is muck spreading season.






First port of call today was Clovelly which is a fishing village which is owned by one family where all the homes are rented out, because of the cobbled streets everything is delivered to the properties by donkey's pulling sledges.

Today we took the dogs to Bude for them to play on the beach, even Cassie walked all the way after her episode just over a week ago.
Even had a canal  (Bude Canal) which was used to transport sand. 






After a five hour drive we arrived at the cottage and the sun shone on our arrival, even the dogs were tired after the journey and soon settled in.
