By 4pm, we were headed back to Plymouth. We had a quiet night in, but all in all it was a really nice weekend.
Castle, Devon
Well it's now April 30th and it's not long till our holiday to Italy. woohoo!
On Friday night we went to the Plymouth Theatre Royal and watched "Jesus Christ Superstar". The music and singing was just superb - spine-tingling stuff! I was so pleased we got to see it...email me if you want to know more.
Dave and I recently had a lovely weekend away. On Saturday 28th April, we drove to Okehampton and then on to Exeter. We had lunch at Okehampton, at a local cafe, and visited Okehampton Castle briefly. Unfortunately Okehampton Castle (ruins of the largest castle in Devon, dating back to the 11th century) was not open, due to the Foot & Mouth crisis, but we managed to take some lovely photos of it with our vidcam and camera. There was not much else to see in Okehampton so we continued on our drive...visiting Castle Drogo (built between 1910 & 1930), near Exeter. Castle Drogo is a great country house, standing at more than 900 ft overlooking the wooded gorge of the River Teign - it has stunning views of Dartmoor.
