A LIKELY STORY.
During last summer while we were at the caravan, we went one wet day for a walk around Ilfracombe. We were walking the sea front when down came the rain like a cloud burst, the nearest shelter was the Theatre booking office/foyer/cafe.We sat down in the cafe and had a cup of tea then noticed a couple of indoor stands, art, crafts and this one researching basic geneology and family coats of arms/history. So after a lot of poking around in old books and using the computer they said if we go back in a couple of hours they will get our coat of arms printed out for us, so here it is.

Hi Bikerbob
Thanks for stopping by at my humble record of my even humbler travels and especially for not finding fault with my placenemes :-)
I've changed the references from Porlock Toll Road to Worthy Toll Road to keep George happy. A quick search shows that a lot of others think of it as Porlock Toll Road but never mind eh.
I was in Ilfracombe the other day, passing through after a visit to Combe Martin. It was a nice ride that ended up at Dunkery Beacon and then home.
With the cost of vehicle fuel these days, I often wonder if I could travel more with a motorbike. But the thought petrifies me because motorbikes are so vulnerable to the bad driving of car owners.
See you around :-)
Hi Bikerbob
My bad (as my son would say) on both accounts.
I've now discovered, whilst playing tennis this evening, that there are actually two toll roads going up the side of the hill in Porlock.
Considering I went to school in the area and have lived in it, on and off, for many many years, this has come as quite a shock. Sadly, George, who I play folk music with (he plays melodeon), was absolutely right.
On the subject of crabs and crayfish, I think I'll change to crayfish. Thanks, that is a good suggestion.
Thanks for your kind words about the story.
On the subject of moderation, I am questioning the use of author moderation and have stopped using it on some of my sites. I think I might drop it on all and see what problems arise, if any. I do get a lot of spam comments (medical products) on most of my non blogger blogs. These are mainly dealt with my the anti-spam system, though.
Thanks for your helpful comments and for putting up with the author moderation.
Final comment, hopefully.
Author moderation is gone on my humor site and I've decided on fishing off the pier instead of in the canal. I think the crabs make nore sense hunorously.
Again thanks for all your help, bikerbob.
Hello there, I discovered your site by means of Google at the same time as looking for a comparable matter, your website got
here up, it appears to be like good. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Hi there, just was alert to your blog through Google, and found that it is really
informative. I am going to be careful for brussels.
I will appreciate if you continue this in future. A lot of other people
will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
