A Beer in Beer

We took our first holiday in Beer as it was not too far away and also close to Totnes. We drove down on the Saturday with only three stops due to Ruby crying. The cottage was really cute and it was a lovely day. Alex and Rob drove over to join us and we met up in the Anchor on Saturday night for a pint. We finished upmwith fish and chips and went to bed. Alex seemed quite perky although Rob was a bit argumentative.

On Sunday it was fathers day and Ruby gave Steve his first card with two small handprints. (What a night,are making that was)! We all walked along the cliff to Branscombe and then had ice creams. On Monday Dad came over to keep me company as Steve was at work and we pottered about. We visited the Hurfords that night, it was great to see the farm althoug Ruby screamed most of the evening. Mary Hurford was so gentle with Ruby and all the family were welcoming. It was great to see Beatrix. Tuesday the dog killed Mary's last remaining duckling, oh dear.

On Wednesday I took Steve on a tour of Sidmouth and showed him Grandmas old house. We had crab sandwiches and a cream tea in Connaught gardens. Ruby loved having her Daddy nearby. It was a lovely week with our baby Rubster :-)
