Day 5994 (01/06/2026)

June already.

I started the day by cutting the grass and tidying and watering the garden, then did some work in the office, whilst it rained heavily for the rest of the day. 

Had the Mexican in the evening. 

Day 5992 & 5993 (30 & 31/05/2026)

We had a lazy morning at the PremierInn (raised a few issues with the manager) then drove out, stopping in Westward / Chav Ho!, for a walk around and some brunch. 

My wife went for the Full English, whilst I was more restrained, with a bacon & egg bap. 

Then we had a drive to Woolavington, and stopped at the National Trust area, for free parking, had a nice coffee & cake, then had a walk along the coast, before returning to the cafe for a refreshing ice-cream.

Then a drive home, where I made some hot dogs and sweetcorn. 

Sunday my wife was back at work, I went to see my parents for breakfast, then in the evening I tried a new Mexican, Huevos Rancheros, which didn't quite work out, along with some halloumi and maceral, to put in wraps, with some home made salsa. 

Day 5991 (29/05/2026)

Another lovely day, and we were up doing some chores, then off out to RHS Garden Rosemoor in North Devon, which was really lovely. 

Starting with a lovely lunch. 

A welcome tera & cake break. 

Time for a quick game of croquet. 

What a lovely place, we will be back, as we didn't quite see it all. 

Then we drove off to a PremierInn in Bideford, where we had booked in for the night. We had a quick drive around in the evening, then went for fish and chips at Mr Chips in Bideford, which was very nice. I went for the  Seafood Basket, with crispy panko squid, battered cod bites, crumbed prawn cutlets

and salt ‘n’ pepper squid. 

A very lovely day.
