I'm sat waiting for the coals to heat up, before cooking a whole chicken on the Weber. I'm also going to be trying to do jacket potatos seeing as this chicken is going to take some time. Later we'll pop on some corn on the cobs too!
Today we went to Bideford, the Barnstaple branch meet at Bideford College. Seeing as we weren't up particularly early, we just went for the Sacrament meeting. It was interesting mostly due to the branch not having a piano or organ, so we all sang acapella. The branch president was very kind, he came up to speak to us after the meeting and offered to have us round for dinner.
I got changed into my shorts and t-shirt in the car park, much to Hannah's amusement/bemusement. We drove off towards Bude looking for a nice cliff to enjoy our picnic on. We ended up at a place called Hartland Point, which had a lighthouse. It was very plesant, Hannah had made up some ham and cheese brioche (something I'd discovered in France a week back).
We packed our things away in the car, we went wandering to see what we could find. We walked along the cliff edge, which provided a nice cooling sea breeze to what had turned out to be a stifling day, without a cloud in the sky.
I took Will and Josie on a slightly more daring path, to see how far we could make it. The drop down was a bum clencher of a cliff, providing magnificent views - I wished I had brought my camera.
We stopped off at the shops on the way home to buy some potatos and boursin for our meal tonight.
The house we're staying in is really nice, it's a converted barn, which sleeps up to 10. We're in the deepest countryside, which is peaceful without being smelly.
If this weather keeps up, this will end up being a very nice holiday!
Best see how that chicken is doing...
