Meals and a Walk

Another working week and still no wind-down to Christmas on the horizon. Pete was in London for a couple of days to attend meetings and a Christmas event. The snow that hit the east if England didn't impact Pete directly, but did knock onto his journey home delaying him for over an hour due to points failure near Reading (sounds very Reggie Perrin). Fortunately the 19:03 was delayed leaving Paddington and he managed to catch that instead of the 19:45 so who knows what time he might have got home had he got the later train.

On Friday we went out for a meal with Julie's work friends at the Royal Oak in Malborough, which was very nice. They had a live band too and although always good to hear live music it did rather kill the conversation.

On Saturday we spend the afternoon at Buckland Tout Saint celebrating the birthdays on friends Linda and Ken. There were 11 of us in total and nobody had anything but good to say about the place and their meal. The restaurant is in the hotel, which is a great location and what with the large flakes of snow falling outside the window it made for a lovely setting. All we needed would have been a log fire and that would have topped it off.

On Sunday we went for a walk at Bantham and as the tide was out it would have been possible to walk across the sands to Burgh Island. If we had we might not have got back.

The attached photographs were taken on today's walk.
