COMBE MARTIN ROAD TRIP II

We took a road trip to Combe Martin on the border of Exmoor after being offered a holiday cottage for the weekend. Unfortunately that weekend also coincided with a amber weather warning and a risk of flooding.

The weather got pretty hairy at one point, with rivers rushing, roads flooding and white caps covering the sea as I braved the weather to get a few photos. I think the black and white really adds to how dramatic that truly was.

CANAL BOAT ROAD TRIP

Over the August bank holiday weekend Hannah, Ben and I travelled up to Stoke-on-Trent for a day with my parents, to partake in their new hobby - Canal Boating. Although the weather was miserable we took a meandering route down the canal a few miles, had a brief stop and lesson in lock etiquette, enjoyed some tea and builders bread whilst the rain poured outside.

During a brief reprieve from the weather I jumped out of the boat to take some photos as we raised up a four metre lock to continue our journey.

We also visited the Wedgewood Museum for a whistle stop tour of the shop and outlet centre. Hannah and I managed to bag an awesome set of plates, cups and bowls for 70% off!

BOGNOR REGIS

Bognor Regis - the quintessential British sea side town complete with a Butlins just to make it really English

Being a country boy (the home counties no less) I rarely see the sea but I had to travel down south for work one morning and thought it might be interesting to take a look at the sea front in case something had changed over the last few years. I can safely say the sea is still there and Bognor is as miserable as ever!

Since Hannah is a Vancouver girl and has grown up surrounded by water I promised her we'd have a road trip with Eggs to a nice stretch of coast for a relaxed day of picnicking in the sunshine, when we get the sunshine? Maybe? Sometime soon? Please?!
