Exeter and Burnham on Sea

After a very stormy night, Wednesday started surprisingly sunny and we enjoyed a nice run down to Okehampton to see Barbara and John and an equally pleasant onward journey. So pleasant in fact that we decided to stop off in Exeter to see the Cathedral and the old quay area whilst buying a replacement mini Wok from Lakeland. Judging by the number of people shopping in the High street and queueing to pay £2.35 for a Costa coffee, there is not much of a credit crunch in Exeter! Booked the Haven site at Burnham on Sea (£5.60 a night !!!) and headed back to the windy Devon coast for the night. Rosemary 'thru together' a meal of fresh Mackeral fillets from Oakhamton, with Goan masala paste from Rick Steins deli and leftover pillau rice (plus added peas and peppers), with a bottle of Pinot Grigio. So pleased with the result it has even made the blog!
We were awoken at 4.00am by a loud clap of thunder, which shook the van, followed by hours of rain and hail !!!
