We started the week on The Isle of Man, visiting Jim and Lisa, Iwan and Luke.....and we finished the week in Salcombe, Devon, as a little birthday treat. Its been nice to get away for a bit.....and great to have a week off work. Wilson is glad to see us.... I think he thought we'd gone for good!!!!

We had a great time on the Isle of Man. The weather was amazing...and we did lots of outdoor stuff. It was good to see The Rileys in their new house.The new house has a great 70s kitchen, a lift to the downstairs bit and views over the coastline. We took about one million photos while we were there.... and we had a lot of fun with a capital F ... and a lot of laughs too ( especially during the Casino Royale "cheese and biscuits interval") I can say no more about that!!!!!!

On Wednesday we drove down to Salcombe in Devon for a couple of nights. Tel had booked us into the Tides Reach Hotel in South Sands. The hotel was right on the beach. We took a photo to celebrate the big 36. It was a lovely thing to do on my birthday.x
