Gosford Park

Harvey is currently on the Gosford Park CL site just outside Ottery St Mary in Devon. We arrived here last Thursday after a short and uneventful journey from Dorchester. On turning off the A30, though, the road narrowed considerably which made us a bit apprehensive  but when we reached the lane down which we had to go we gasped as it was barely wider than Harvey. Nothing daunted, however, I turned in and set off down it yanking a large amount of foliage out of the hedgerow on either side. On arriving at the entrance to the site the layout had changed from what we had seen on Streetview and I wasn't able to make the turn in without unhitching the trailer and reversing up a bit. Once on the site, though we set up camp in the sunshine.
 




The reason for being here was Jan and Ian's wedding in Exeter on Saturday, which went off very well with glorious sunshine for the photo's in the grounds of Larkbeare House. Later there was food and drink at Mazzard Farm near Ottery St Mary and this involved the imbibing of a small quantity of Otter beer (which was pretty good).






 Yesterday we travelled to Barnstaple to spend a couple of hours with Dave and Debbie, our friends from Bexhill, and returning via Tiverton we stopped at Bickliegh Mill for a cream tea.

Tomorrow it is off to Petersfield for about ten days so that Tricia can attend a work reunion and to catch up with friends and relatives in the Hampshire area. The distance is about 130 miles and it will take us around 3 hours.
