Janes holiday travels
Pete, Chris and I decided it would be nice to spend a night on Dartmoor so we headed to Yelverton, a typical quaint devonshire village on Dartmoor.

South West Coast Path – Kingston to Ringmore and back with a stop for lunch at the beautiful old worldly pub, the Journeys End. A hugely rewarding coast and estuary walk with peerless views from some of the most dramatic cliffs in the area. It starts with a huge vista of South Devon, and the…
Norfolk is a beautiful county that I haven’t really explored before. Lesley and I took ourselves off to the lovey town of Holt.

We arrived in to Roundstone after a wet and windy ride from Dublin. We stopped at Athenry in County Galway for lunch on the way. This is the town that Joe grew up in and is a very quaint little Irish village. By the way I had the tastiest tomato soup with Irish soda bread…

The following day Margaret and I walked into the city and stopped for a coffee in a tiny…
