Quiet; Mostly


Been a quiet week, lots of people about but at this time of year with the children back at school most of the holiday makers have gone home and those that are about are the OAP s enjoying slightly cheaper holidays but still enjoying bright sun shine and reasonable temperatures. They don't tend to use cars to get around so traffic has been light. September is a week old and there hasn't been a days far where it hasn't got above 20C; on Wednesday it got to 27C.

Yesterday we were having no problems getting round until about 3:00 pm when someone decided to park his caravan on it's side on the road out of Brixham and suddenly everyone was running late. It soon cleared up and then we had an other problem. The sea decided that it didn't like staying in the sea and came over the sea wall at Corbin Head. It's Spring High Tide to night and the wind is from the East which means it will come over again to night. If the road gets closed we have to use the diversion which does wonders to the time table. Me, I have a day off so I may go down and take some photos. It can be spectacular.
