Sunday 22 November 2009

Sunday morning is a half day tour round Teignmouth and Dawlish, two sea side towns a few miles up the coast from Torquay. What this entails is a drive out through Welswood and Babbacombe with a running commentary on the way. Usually I mention the human arm bone found in Welswood, with human teeth marks in it which some learned professor from Cambridge University had the nerve to suggest that some people in Torquay were actually cannibals. Now I know times are hard but we don't eat holidaymakers, or even our neighbours here in the English Riviera. Not anymore anyway, the arm bones are 9000 years old and was found in Kent's Cavan. Up through Babbacombe and a quick mention of Babbacombe Downs, the Cliff railway, The Model Village and The Bygones Museum. If there is time I will mention the Man They Couldn't Hang as well. Busy life driving a coach.

Then along the coast road to Dawlish with a few facts about the place and the railway line built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, described by some as the most scenic rail line in England, before opening the door and letting them walk around the place for an hour or so, a bit of sightseeing and shopping. So far I have been doing this every Sunday for the last 4 months and until today have been lucky with the weather, it’s been dry. But today I got soaked going to work, soaked checking the coach and it rained all the way up the coast road. But just as I got to Dawlish the sun came out and stayed out for the next 3 hours.

The photo is of the railway station in Dawlish and shows two things. One, what a nice bright sunny day it was and two, why Dawlish Railway Station got so many votes on a Radio Devon phone in program the other day to decide which station was the worst in Devon. If you know a worse station then it must be bad.
