21st September - Lyme Regis to St Neots (Bodmin, Cornwall)

21st September - Lyme Regis to St Neots (Bodmin)
We awoke to an other sunny day, Johns wife cooked us up a yummy hot english breakfast with eggs, baked beans, sausages, bacon and mushies.  They even had vegemite for us to put on our toast. After breakky we packed up our bags and said goodbye.  We made our way down the coast and stopped off at Beer, at nice little town with a pebbly beach and nice flat water.  There was a few paths to walk up and get a great view. Had a look around town and then drove a bit further down the coast and stopped along the way to look at the view. We stopped for lunch at Okehampton a large village at the top of Dartmoor Forest and made our way to Littleworth Cottage at St Neots our accommodation for the week.  We drove down tiny lanes with great scenery, lots of sheep and cows.  Every time a car came the other way we had to pull right over into the hedges so that it could pass, very tight.  We followed the GPS and reached the farm gate, the drive way was made of white pebbles. The cottage is made of stone and inside is really nice. There are rabbits everywhere, the fields are really green we have a huge area of paddocks that we can run around in.  Tom loves the swing that is tied to the large tree out the back.  The cottage is on 2 floors, downstairs in my bedroom, mum and dads bedroom, a really big bathroom and a separate toilet, the hallways are all black slate tiles.  Upstairs the floors are all wide wooden floorboards. Tom and Lukes bedroom is up here, so is the big country kitchen and lounge room with fireplace. The views are great out of every window.  After unpacking we drove in to St. Cleer to the farmers shop and stocked up on our groceries for the week.  It was a great shop, full of fresh veggies, dairy, frozen food, chutney, chocolate, meat etc.  It was getting late so we headed home.  Mum made chicken breast and salad for dinner and we watched a bit of t.v and went to bed.
