After being off work for quite a few weeks poorly and losing our beloved cat, we decided to head off to Devon for a change of scenery. We booked a cottage on a working farm, and with some persuasion from the owners booked the larger cottage, I think she was looking to accommodate the three dogs more than us lol. I told her we used to all squish into a motorhome sometimes with the teenagers too so we are used to being cramped, but she was having none of it. I am glad she persuaded us though because it’s very roomy and comfy, loads of room.
So we arrived on the Saturday had a lovely drive down, grabbed pizza from the local Morrisons and had a lovely evening. Woke up Sunday morning and halfway through cooking a full english breakfast I started to get stomach cramps, and yes you guessed it, I have been poorly from Sunday to today (Wednesday). Whatever I had knocked me off my feet, whether it was food poisoning or a bug of some sort I will never know. So poor Steve has had a very quiet 4 days and our week is nearly over!
I have managed to do a little bit of painting, when I could crawl out of bed or off the toilet! and this evening we managed to get to the beach. I feel very weak but it was lovely to get some air and the dogs needed it.
So we have Thursday and Friday left, hopefully I will feel well enough to venture out tomorrow and we can do some exploring. In the meantime here are some pictures of our trip to the beach and a little bit of painting progress. I am working on some woodland themed greeting cards, and then I have diversified to a splishy sploshy cat.
