Boscastle and Appledore

The wind is back to normal, the van has stopped shaking and it is drizzling, so we stayed on site till midday before going to Boscastle. It's an attractive long village beside the river terminating in a small fishing harbour. It's famous for being devastated when the river flooded in after freak rain on the nearby moors in 2004. Unfortunately it was still dull and misty as we left after a couple of hours and we needed headlights on the way to Bude.
However by the time we arrived in Bude the sky had cleared and we sat on the prom drinking tea in hot sunshine. But it did not last and it was 5:00pm after all.

Decided to do a one night stop at a Britstop for a change. We chose a quayside car park in Appledore, near Bideford. We noticed signs for a book festival as we drove in and arrived to find the car park crammed with festival goers. There are some well known celebrities like Jeremy Vine and Mitch Tonks. Rosemary may go and buy a book tomorrow. We had both pasties and fish and chips today. Must try harder with diet tomorrow!
