Somerset Memories

We had waited two years for this holiday as last year's was cancelled due to the pandemic. The only thing which was missing was the opening of the pubs, as we both like to just call for a pint on the way home on our daily travels. They were allowed to open with outdoor drinking only, but the vast majority in Somerset seemed to be waiting for the next phase of lockdown easing when they would be allowed to have customers inside as well as out.

We did manage to sniff one out, The Royal Oak in Luxborough and called in there one day, but it was closed the next time we passed so maybe it hadn't been worth their while to open. It wasn't the end of the world and didn't spoil our holiday in any shape or form.

We visited our usual places and, as we stayed for two weeks, we managed to unearth some more little, and not so little gems. Old favourites Selworthy, Allerford, Porlock, Lynmouth, Cleeve, Dunster and Dulverton were re-visited and Wells, Glastonbury, Tarr Steps, Watersmeet, Valley of Rocks and Bossington were added.

All in all, a damned fine holiday. Watchet, and Somerset in general, seem to have been bypassed by the holiday hoards heading for Devon and Cornwall and long may that continue. These are just random photos from the holiday, I will be blogging about the new places we visited in more detail once I get round to it!
