Weather at Slimbridge was kind to us and we spent a couple
of pleasant days there exploring the Sharpness to Gloucester Canal and the next
village of Frampton on Severn, a delightful village that has the longest
village green in England. It certainly seemed it as we walked from one end to
the other and back. Fortunately it had a pub at the far end and we sat in the
autumn sunshine and enjoyed a leisurely drink while there.

After a couple of
days we moved on to Dulverton on Exmoor driving there via Dunster then across
the moor. Not a route I would drive again in the motorhome but pleasant
scenery, what we could see through the mist. Our friends Dave and Louise joined
us at Dulverton and we spent most of our two days together chatting and
catching up. We did manage to fit in a lovely circular walk from the town,
arriving back by walking along the side of the River Barle, lovely. We enjoyed
a meal out at the local Thai restaurant also.
Altogether a really enjoyable couple
of days in their company which we concluded by stopping off at the National
Trust Knightshayes Court at Tiverton for a final coffee and cake.
