New House & Rowing Regatta

Another busy week that has seen Julie's mum and dad return home, Pete working in London for a few days and us taking possession of our new home here in Salcombe. Although we've visited the house a number of times Pete never took the liberty of asking to take a photo from the living room window, but has now (see photo at the top of this posting).
The house is great and all that we would want already on it, but the views were a major buying point for us. We had some major shifting to do this weekend and thanks to our friend Brian were able to get the majority of it into the new house. We also realised that we needed to get some basics, like beds, furniture and the other essentials of life and it'll be a week or so until we are settled in with all the comforts of home - thanks Brian.

We Still found a bit of time at the weekend to go down into Salcombe for the rowing regatta and as Julie's new found interest she was really into the event. She also provided cakes for sale at the refreshments stall.

We also visited Woodcot - a house owned by the town that provides accommodation for some of the more senior amongst us. A lovely place with gardens that have spectacular views across to The Bar. Julie provided a small flower arrangement to be sold to raise some funds. Only a shame the open day clashed with the regatta and visitors needed to be shared.

We are now (or soon will be) properly resident in Salcombe and would thanks everyone that has helped us since we arrived either by helping us in some way or just for the friendship they offered.
