ILFRACOMBE AND MORE.

We are back home again to get my full Diabetes etc results from the tests taken last week.The picture below was taken right at the tail end of last week ends storms while away in N Devon, the wind at this stage had dropped to around 25 to 30 mph but as you can see the sea is stil choppy. If you scrolldown you will see a couple more pictures of the same area but taken just 5 days later.
Below, this picture is of a plaque to help explain and guide tourists around Ilfracombe. Click to enlarge, you may just be able to just about read bits of the text.
Above, this picture and the one below are of Ilfracombe Pier and boat Jetty, taken from the top of Lantern hill, just behind us is the famous "St Nicholas Chapel". This chapel was the place family members would wait and pray while waiting for the men folk to return back in the days of the local fishing fleet.
Below, this picture was taken to show the difference between breezy days like this and real windy days (above).
Below, Ilfracombe inner Harbour at low water.
Below, Just a quick image of the Harbour and surrounding country side, this is Watermouth Cove. The Castle is in the top right of the picture, our site is about 700-800 yds farther along.
Joke of the day.

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you £300 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds of looking her up and down, Bob hands her £300 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was only Bob, the next-door neighbor,' she replies. Great!' the husband says. 'Did he mention anything about the £300 he owes me?' TWO A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. the manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' Moral of the story : Always let your boss have the first say.
