Holiday in Devon

Two weeks ago, no actually three weeks ago we went on holiday to Devon. Our first as a little family. The weather here had been great all week so we were hoping it would last while we were away but of course you can't rely on the British weather like that! It stayed pretty much dry most of the week with a couple of wet days, but the temperature dropped quite a bit which meant we couldn't spend the days lazing about outside as it just wasn't warm enough. We did manage to do it one day though and we had a nice little pop up tent so we could keep Martha out of the sun. On the Sunday we managed to go and see Sophie over in Kingsbridge which was lovely, she is expecting a baby in July and her bump is coming along nicely. It was the first time we have seen her Devon and her house is really nice and she really enjoys being close to her family. It was great to see her and catch up, hopefully we will be able to see her again soon when her baby is born.
The rest of the week was spent finding things to do that were suitable for Martha. We went to a local organic farm and had a tour round there, it was called Riverford and they are one of these companies that deliver organic boxes. We were going to use them when we got back but unfortunately they are not delivering in this area yet. We also went to the aquarium in Plymouth and a house of marbles which had theses really impressive marble runs- I was amazed. All in all we had a really lovely time. The cottage we stayed in was really lovely and we couldn't have asked for more, it was part of the owners house- although why they would share that I will never know- I suppose its easy money. They had huge grounds and had loads of chickens which meant fresh eggs- lovely. It has put a whole new light on where Liam and I would like to be in the future- no not Devon just not in the city. The problem we come against is that there is only a few directions we can move in as neither of us wants to move away any further from our families than we already are. Also as soon as you go out of the M25 in those directions properties get quite expensive and we certainly don't want to downsize. We have got until Martha starts school before we need to move but we have started weighing up different options already. Watch this space! Anyway sort of went off on one there, we had a great holiday and hopefully I will update more later, Martha is now crying.
