Children need lots of fresh air and exercise after over-indulging in chocolate so today we came here. This is Instow, a small village near the mouth of the river Torridge in between Barnstaple and Bideford. It's long stretch of golden sand is a great place to blow away the cobwebs. The wind was up this morning bringing with it a wonderful smell of salt water and seaweed. The sun warmed my face and made me dream of long hot summer days, just around the corner now!
After our bracing walk we treated the children to Hockings ice-cream (made just across the river at Appledore and THE best ice-cream in the world - ever.) Then we stopped off in a pub called 'The Bar' for a drink of hot chocolate. Did I say 'over-indulgence' earlier? I don't think there is such a thing really.
