Today the forecast is not so good so we drove to Plymouth - the main town has been completely rebuilt after WWII after the Nazis bombed it flat in 1941. We had a look around and had some photos developed.

After lunch we went to Okehampton in the north of Dartmoor. We visited the musuem and walked through the village. Afterwards we went up to Okehampton Castle, which looks ready to collapse in the next big wind.

We were driving home afterwards when we got caught in a traffic jam in the outskirts of Plymouth, caused by a minor car accident. We had just picked up some groceries so I was worried about the frozens so we got home in time.

One thing I noticed is every speed camera site is signposted as you approach the camera along with the speed limit that applies.

At night we were watching a programme called "Love me, love my kids" on BBC2. It's a dating show for single parents where the kids set up the parent with a prospective partner. One of the prospective dates on the show was a dancer who was shown practicing, with Mandy from Ceroc Wellington (It must have been shot some time ago). Strange to come halfway round the world and to spot someone you know on TV.
