Memories from 11 years ago

Hi there!
Phew, made it to the holiday!
I finally got my computer back after it went wrong about a year and a half ago.  I gave it to my friend N who is an IT guy and he did repair work on it for me before lockdown. We then didn't see him for ages and then he had to reinstall software for me after I set up passcodes.
He did actually give it back to me in March (he had to do a job at the local school so did a doorstep drop!)  but I've not actually used it till now as I was using my school laptop!

I used it on Wednesday for the first time as my school laptop is in for upgrading and what a delight it was to find all these old photos on there in neatly organised and dated folders, courtesy of my late Father-in-Law who was the central repository for all photos for the family!

I was having a look and found these photos from 11 years ago when CBC and I went to Exmoor for our first May Bank holiday together.
Ah, it was such a lovely holiday.  We had a night in Cheddar Gorge as CBC had a cycle Sportif race in Wells (whilst he did that, I went potholing in Cheddar!) 
We then drove to Exmoor for 2 nights, staying in a delightful historical B&B called Cutthorne which we went back to about 2-3 years ago.

Young CBC!  Ah, I remember this photo so well where he looked like Mr Tumnus! And that green jumper was one I always liked him wearing!

We had the most delightful walks in Exmoor. It's a really underrated place.So quiet and lovely.

On the way home, we stopped in Bath for the day and went to the Spa AND visited the Jane Austen centre.  Here I am mooning over Mr Darcy.

Happy memories.
Hope you are well!

  2. I love a trip down memory lane! Sounds like an idyllic trip, and you're right in that Exmoor is quite underrated. Lovely to see young CBC and Kezzie! xxx

  5. How wonderful to see these old pictures. I usually have a look at my old pictures just before our wedding anniversary or an anniversary. It's heart-warming to remember those times.
    Love the pictures!!

    I went to Cheddar Gorge when I was young - maybe 10 or 11.
