Out of the house and into the snow!

As the night of 28th February is the first day of our adventures as homeless gypsies I will now record the previous nights accommodation and the cost of this, on a daily basis on a spreadsheet, but here is the first night.

1st March
Air B&B in Chaple Amble near Wadebridge £44.
Lunch Watergate Bay Hotel
Tea, Sian's house
 4pm travelled to Wells for our regular Friday with Wren. More on that below!

March 1st it is Sian's birthday and we spent a brilliant extended lunch at the Watergate Bay hotel followed by a walk on the beach.

B&B Chaple Amble - this does not do it justice.  It was super!

At 4pm we set out - against Sian's better judgement to Wells despite a RED weather warning for the area that we were about to drive through.

We followed the road closed warnings online.  We got through in our truck no problem until within a mile of our destination.

Driving through Okehampton

Lane near Whiddon Down, A30 was closed at this point

M5 at Exeter

Passing Wells Reclamation

Haydon Lane where we came unstuck and got stuck!

Lights of tractor in the distance that came to our rescue

Following tractor to our B&B thanks to Liz and Vernon local farmers who found us and pulled us out of the snow.

Without their help we would have been stuck in the truck for the night.

2nd March

am took Jane and her daughter to Bath to catch the train on their trip to London.  The buses were not running and they did not want to miss out on their long planned trip. They were so happy that they could get to the station and that the trains were still running.  It was easy for us to take them in our truck.
pm lunch with Ben and Molly. Looked after Wren whilst Ben and Mollie went sledging on a home made sledge in the snow.

Evening Took thank you present to our saviours the farmers and now back at Jane's house for our second night, without  Jane of course.  We were pleased that she trusted us to stay in her lovely home without her being there.
