I had an early-ish start today, as mum had an opticians appointment at 8.30 (which was a shock to her system!). On the way back I stopped in at M&S and bought a winter coat for everyday, which I'm pleased with.

In a break in the pouring rain I took time out from cleaning to drive to Trago Mills (in Newton Abbot) to look at the price of furniture ... and shoes.  Didn't buy either, but did get some blank CDs and DVDs so I can put a couple of things on disc.  So that was positive

Wednesday was a great day in that I worked on a late ... no setting the alarm clock for 5.30am! I dropped Dad off at the doctor’s then went to Newton Abbot to buy something - only to find the Medieval Church Tower was open to the public ... free of charge. I went with camera, hoping for a view of the town, but did get to see all the 8 bells instead ( Read more... )

I went shopping first thing this morning - and Newton Abbot was having a small car ralley (plus a barrel organ playing in the background) ... so I'm glad I had my camera with me!

Mum's back is still sore, so rather than waiting for a bus I drove to Newton Abbot as the car park is right on the edge of the shops.

I had to take my car back to get the brakes repaired today - and left the car and walked into Newton Abbot, as I had 3 hours to kill. I wandered around, and as you can see a very bright day ... but spot the clothes ... a very cold day. So headed back early and availed myself of the coffee machine (and my Kindle)

One of the great thing about doing a 366 is you get round to takingpictures of local views, after years of saying you must.

Every Sunday as I leave Church I have to turn right at this junction and you can guarantee the lights go red - so I get to look at this view.

I'm not normally into sculpture - but I do love this.  Many of the Livestock ( Read more... )

Dad and I went to the funeral service of a member from our Church ... He had been 95, and one of those lucky enough to have been rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940.

Two Sundays ago, he got ready for Church, made a cup of tea and waited for his lift ... only to wake up in Heaven instead.

He was a lovely man, and the service was a fitting ( Read more... )
