Buckland Abbey - sun

Sun 9th Nov 2014
After breakfast and a great skype with David's parents, Linda & Ian drove us onto The Moors and to Buckland Abbey which Queen Elizabeth1 gave to Sir Francis Drake as a thank you for defeating the Spanish Armada. We had a great 6mile walk around the estate. It was so pretty and colourful but very wet under foot. We enjoyed coffee and scones before we went in the house which had Drakes Drum and even an original Rembrandt in it! We were lucky again as the sun was shinning. Back at Linda and Ian's we had a lazy afternoon then enjoyed a lovely roast chicken dinner. Off to Chagford Devon tomorrow to say bye to Alison.
