Mill End Hotel

Thursday 2^nd Jan

We helped Ali at the hotel again for a few hours - changing beds/vacuuming/cleaning bathrooms & toilets etc. It really is hard work and Ali has the added duties of washing all the towels, replenishing all the bottles of filtered water and topping up all the hand wash/creams/shampoos etc etc so many trips are made back and forth  from the house to the hotel (we are both knackered!). David & I then drove to Moretonhampstead to to a bit of shopping and to have a walk around. We saw some ALMS houses (housing for the poor back in the 1600’s) David remembered these from a childhood holiday. In the evening we took Ali out for a great meal in a restaurant at The Three Crowns in Chagford. It was a lovely evening.

Friday 3^rd Jan

Woke up to thunder and large hailstones!! I helped Ali while David caught up with paperwork (emails, motorhome finance and insurance etc.) It was still terrible weather when we finished so we headed into the hotel lounge and instead of cleaning it we had a Devonshire Cream Tea (in Devon! Ha Ha) and played scrabble - Ali won of course. Lazy evening and had a staff dinner.
