Awaiting Anna's next post with keen anticipation....

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yes, I see your point. Sharing sleeping accommodation with dogs does not a good nights sleep make. They're always getting up, turning in a circle three times before they settle, then they start scratching their fleas, snoring, twitching when they're dreaming with claws scrabbling the floor ..... I'd prefer a little tent outside the van I thinkOriginally posted by eighthobstruction View Post....who said there would be any sleeping....Comment

Yes , being a Devon and Somerset boy I am used to the best beaches (SHUTUP Cornwall)....and the thread really did stir emotions in me....also I really am a recluse who rarely goes further 2 miles away from home these days (lucky I live where I do, or maybe because.....)Originally posted by Caliban View Post

Only beaches I know in Somerset are Dunster and Minehead, always associate Somerset with The Levels. North Devon rather than South I presume you mean? What beaches stand out there?Originally posted by eighthobstruction View Post
(One of my great-grandfathers came from small village (Monkleigh), nearest town Bideford, I think he was the first of his family for generations ever to leave the the place but I don't know the N. Devon coast apart from Ilfracombe)Comment

I'm afraid that I wouldn't want to share any accommodation of any kind with any sort of dog, let alone dogs plural; dogs are, to me farm animals and sometimes very valuable and efficient ones, but that's it!Originally posted by Anna View PostComment

Yesterday's travel section in The Guardian was all about UK beaches. Unfortunately I cannot quote from it as it's outside bagged up for recycling .... however, 8ob having said he's a Somerset lad, I find the piece by Margaret Drabble about Porlock Weir beach is online (I only know Porlock in connection with the mysterious gentleman making a possibly long poem shorter) Also, I think you can find links to the other articles. There was a section of best seaside fish and chips and - no surprise - the Anstruther Fish Bar (which someone on this very forum has promised me a fish supper if I venture North of the Border) is up there amongst the best! That is also one of the joys of beaches, fish and chips never taste so delicious as when they are consumed by the seashore.
