We did in fact have several sunny days and were able to enjoy walks along the coast path and around the village. Snow drops were in bloom and daffodils in several places including Instow where we had seen some in flower before Christmas.
The snow came in the middle of the week and whilst there was only just over an inch it did slow things up for a day or so. However we took the opportunity to photograph some snowy scenes as we walked around the village.
Having a butcher in the village was extremely useful with 3 meat-eaters in the cottage for a week and we paid several visits to top up our supplies. Our daughter and husband took the opportunity to make use of babysitters on site and a pub next door to enjoy their first evening meal out for 8 months or more!
The scrabble board came into action most evenings and pleased to say that the older generation more than held their own.
Having a full cottage meant that we returned to the Midlands with a car full with bed linen to wash, travel cot, high chair and buggy but all very worthwhile for the family time we enjoyed together in Parkham.
