Exmoor Loop

Early start today after a very long day yesterday doing the Exmoor Loop Tess discovered. It took us from Bath to Minehead, Lynton and many other places I'll detail when we have the maps available. The merc went well and I was grateful it wasn't any wider given the many delightful narrow roads winding through the villages. We stopped now and then but I am remembering the man missed meal breaks in NZ last summer as we survived on a cornish pastie yesterday about 3 pm - at my insistence. I was too tired when we got back to Bath near 9 pm to even eat dinner so all in all, Em had a pretty lean time of it.
Today we take her back to college in Leeds. I plan to stick to the motorways today as our low average speed yesterday caused it to become a long day.

You're so tired you're dropping letters from your words. Or is that a technical malfunction?

I, your reader, am enjoying and appreciating the blogging from both you and Tess. I like how Tess drops decidedly Austen-ish words like "inclement" into her writing. And I definitely think you should find time on the long boats.

Typos are a product of tiredness, my awful typing but most of all, the appalling keyboard on my netbook. Even Tess complains with her small fingers. I will post a picture of it to explain all future errors.

I love that comment: "to explain all future errors". I might have to use that sometime.

Is yours a 10.1" netbook or smaller?

Smaller. 9.something. Toshiba NB100.
