You end up in some strange strange spots:
but we didn't spot any outward signs of heavy inbreeding. The finger count looked all OK on the folks we met there.
No matter how often you see it the church next to the castle is so pretty:
and the antique lower ferry car carrying barge and tug arrangement somehow suits the place:
Whilst in Dartmouth, a walk to Bayard's Cove is a must do for many reasons. One is that it is quintessentially Devon by the sea:
Another is because it is en route to the Castle. When you have Izzy with you it is because at low tide there is plenty of beach to play on and things to throw and chase - if you can find them:
Somehow we don't think she would make it as a search and rescue dog but that tail was having a really good time.
The weather, which had been very spring like, took a turn for the worse and a little hail shower changed the colour of the pontoon briefly:
but as we were on board and the heating was running it didn't cause too much trouble. One of the joys of living on board and no longer working is being able to pick and choose when we move, when we hunker down and do some interior cleaning / maintenance or just blob out. Hailstone day was the latter.
The last "must do" things in Dartmouth are having coffee and brownie at Saveurs (see website) , enjoying some excellent fish and chips at the Floating Bridge pub and saying hello to Tracy in her nice boutique the Fox Exchange. We did them all, some more than once. We leave you to work out the frequency of these activities.
