Set off for 3 nights in Devizes. Left storage at 1000hrs. Usual stop go on M25, M3 ok, A303 to Andover then cross country to Devizes. Arrived on site 1340hrs, checked in and set up.
It was raining when we set out but dry on site, though dull. Had to be careful with cigarette butts around the shower block. Blue Tits had made a nest in the ashtray.
Walked to the "Three Magpies" for a beer.
Back in Eevie, had dinner watched a bit of TV before bed.
June 13th.
After our cuppa and breakfast we cycled along the Kennet & Avon Canal towpath to Trowbridge, about 8 miles. Some of it was quite bumpy but we made it ok.
Took about 40 minutes. It was a strange place, large scale demolition taking place, and a very small Town Centre. But we had a good look around, had a coffee in the precinct.
Not at Costa I might add, a small Independant further along. Not having much more to see went back to the bikes. Discovered some low life had had ag at cutting the cable part Hazels lock. Luckily not successfully. Then back along the bumpy towpath to Eevie.
Had our showers and changed, then at 7 over to the pub for a meal.
We opted for the Burgers. Very nice they were too. A lovely end to a dissapointing day.
June 14th.
Caught the 1020 bus to Bath, free for me of course and £7 return for Hazel. Took an hour, but worth it as we both like Bath. The forecast had warned of heavy showers. Was this the reason for this?
I don't think so, seems to be becoming popular street decoration, even seen it in France. Had a look round the shops then a salad in Pizza Hut.
By the time we'd finished all sign of rain had gone, it become sunny and warm. Walked down to the river, looked in the Charity Shops, no exciting finds. It was just nice to be out in the sun.
We caught the 1605 bus back to the site. On getting back we showered and decided to BBQ on our Cobb.
It was a nice meal and a lovely evening. We went to bed happy and content.
June 15th.
Packed away and on the road at 1000hrs. The same journey as outward but in reverse. Arrived at storage 1300hrs, and home half hour later. Another good trip. Had we at last broke the weather jinx?
