Our first visitors ...









We have had two lots of visitors already, the first ones being Clive and Mandy, who were en route to see some friends in Cornwall, and stopped by for a couple of nights. We took them for a walk along the Hoe and to the Barbican, as well as into Plymouth itself, and sampled another seafood restaurant on their first night, which was excellent. Mandy brought a secondhand guitar from one of the tiny shops in the Barbican for £18! We also had a drink at the Navy pub, and even managed a cream tea at the local dinghy club .. all very nautical!!

On the same day that Clive and Mandy left, Tricia & Campbell came to stay for the weekend. Unfortunately it was rather overcast and cold, although it did cheer up a bit (usually when we were indoors!), but this did not deter Tricia and her camera!! Whilst they were here, we walked around the Barbican, exploring some of the fascinating shops that are there, and took them for a drive up to Mount Wise , from where there was an excellent view of Plymouth and the marina (see second picture). On their last night, we tried another seafood restaurant in the Barbican which was good but VERY expensive, so I don't think that one will be added to our list - until we win the Lottery that is!!

What a wonderfully well written blog, Vanessa. The prose style really flows. It makes you want to know what happens next.
