The next part of our trip was in the southwest, to visit my mum's parents.
Highlights from
Devon include :
...Participating in an episode of
Antiques Roadshow in
Exeter and watching an item get evaluated at £25,000 (!) (just under 42 000$);
 |
| This man was exceptionally good at politely telling this women her item was worthless... |
 |
| Said valuable item being evaluated in right of photo. |
...Walking around the village at dusk followed by joining in on quiz night at the local pub (team Crazy Canuks shamefully walked out after the second round!);
 |
| The church where my parents and grandparents were married |
...Taking in the sea air at
Teignmouth, gambling away our
2p's on the pier, and treating ourselves to a
99;
 |
| Back Beach, Teignmouth |
 |
| The train tracks are so close to the sea, I heard once it is one of the most repaired sections of railway in the UK |
 |
| Clotted cream ice cream = pure joy |
...Laughing at my Nana's hilarious old Devonshire sayings. When making our cooked breakfast, she looked out the window one morning and announced that there "wasn't enough blue sky to make a sailor a pair of trousers." Oh Nana, I love you.
 |
| Quince's growing on my Grandad's shed |
On that note, I must love you and leave you, as my Nana would say. xx
