As promised I am going to post some photos that were taken on my birthday. I went to Newton Abbot ... both the museum & the canal ... and Christine bought me lunch ... complete with an Aperol Spritz



The museum is in a converted Church that was de-consecrated some years ago.  However they have done an amazing job oof change & renovation


























During the war Dad working on locos on the River Thamse ... so in Dad's honour, I had fun








Diving bell - 1715 invented by John Lethbridge


Christine's mum is the lady on the left, seated, in black



This Church tower (which is all that remains of this), is where William of Orange visited and was proclaimed King on his way to London, having landed at Brixham



And, after lunch we had a walk along the canal
