| Since arriving in the UK I have been particulary looking forward to catching up with William and Nicola. I first met them (briefly) in January whilst spending my two weeks over here. As it turned out we were invited up along with Gibbo and her boyfriend Ross for the weekend, meeting us there a day later would be Lucy's school friend Jackie and her husband Ralph. We arrived late on Friday night and had a few drinks before heading to bed, the next morning we decided to take a trip to Dartmouth. Dartmouth is located on the River Dart estuary. It's deep natural harbour has sheltered trading vessels since Norman times, fishing boats for many more centuries. |  |
 
A sample of the 17th century houses in Dartmouth | A large number of 17th century timber-framed houses can be found along the narrow streets that wind through the town. Unfortunately, like most of the places we have dropped in on, our visit was all too short. We had to head back to meet Jackie and Ralph who were due to arrive from London - thus making another destination I must try to see again at a later stage.
We headed back to William and Nicola's house and I was personally pleased to note that William is (like myself) under his better halfs thumb - it's always nice to know you're not alone!! We opened a few beers and set in for the evening.
All in all, a fantastic weekend..
