Still at home

First Leg

Shedfield - Okehampton - Plymouth - Santander

Friday 7th September

0800  Set off from Home in Shedfield to Okehampton. We had a meeting there and had made arrangements to stay the night.  Hotel was OK; just OK.  Indian Restaurant up the road wasn't up to much.  We were looking forward to staying at the Grosvenor in Plymouth the next night, and then catching the ferry to Santander.

Woke up this morning, car wouldn't start.  The Lexus is under a year old and had just had its first service.  Long story, but we had to come home to Shedfield to get our mechanic who did the service to assist in repairing a part on the car that had broken (partly his fault).  Hopefully all will be well tomorrow morning.  It will decide if we go back to Plymouth to catch our original ferry to Spain or to stay here until Tuesday to catch the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander.  You may ask why we didn't call the AA, we did, but coming home was the most practical way to solve the problem.
