Devon, its lovely!
 

Just thought I would pop in and let you all know that Devon.............. is stunning!

Yeah its crowded at times, yeah it can be a nightmare trying to get a meal sometimes in a restaurant or pub and the roads are getting busier than Paris Hiltons gynecologist, but good god its stunning!

I would like also to offer my recommendations for the place, which I will add as I do more and more down here.
First up is this place...............

http://www.oystershack.co.uk/

We went there yesterday and it was by far the best place I have ever eaten here in the UK....... the tables were crap, the chairs tacky plastic ones, the tablecloths cheap nasty vinyl ones, ours had lemons on it, and most of the tables were outside because the interior was so small, but the food was absolutely amazing, they grow their own oysters, most of the fish comes from either their own boats or friends, and its so fresh you can still smell the sea..................... which is funny since they are so close to the estuary.

More Devon recommendations to follow.


(Oh and gentlemen, the waitresses................. so seriously hot!)

Ahh, Devon. My birthplace. I will be happy to read anything you post about Devon. Like they say...Devon is heaven.:D

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Sounds great, the best restaurants are always rustic!:rofl:
Which part of Devon are you in? and when did you return?
We are returning next month from australia and will be looking at Devon/cornwall, i am half cornish so thinking possibly Looe or St ives, yet to discover areas in Devon.
Keep us posted!:thumbup:

Re: Devon, its lovely!

Matt - glad you are loving Devon and are happy:)

Tracey me old china - lovely to hear from you - I am assuming from your comments you are still happy to be home!!! It's all downhill from here - enjoy...........xx

Me - nearly 3 years back in the UK now - sunning myself on the beautiful Dorset coast this summer and loving every minute - wild horses would not drag me back to the boredom, isolation and downright emptiness I had when I lived in Oz.

Good luck to all you returnees!!

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Damn!

Sorry, yeah, scrub what I said, its true, Devon is horrible, its full of pikeys and hoodies, knife crime all the time, and the most horrendous urban sprawl ever!

Just to prove it look at this!

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Devon and Cornwall are awesome places, in the summer, however in the winter it is a different story.

Still I love the place, especially Hayle !

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

...And no way to talk about the Missus!

Where's next, Shetland?

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

No I'm serious, its horrible, I hate it, you should see the litter and syringes everywhere, and dog poo EVERYWHERE!

I'd stay away personally.

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

And what do you see once you have passed the border of Mansion De Le Matt?

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Something like this................ but its horrible.

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

You wait until July/August! :lol:
I used to spend a lot of time in Devon & Cornwall, loved it every time. Its awfully busy in the Summer though

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Coming from my OH's perspective of running the hotel, I hope to god it is busy mate....


For me, not so much!

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Hiya sweety! So good to hear you are happy in your little corner;) Don't worry about hotel bookings, there is a really sweet lady over there, 'hotel inspector' that will come and put 'your house in order'...sort of a female version of Gordon Ramsay!! :rofl:

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Great picture, and yes, some hooligans trashed that shopping mall!

Tree-hunting? I think Ents are an endangered species.

Hey Matty, thought you were off to Perth?

Stick with Devon and keep a room for me;)

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

One day, one bloody day, but for the time being we are here, and as my dad always said, wherever you live, wherever you are.... be there.

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Glad you are 'being there' but I would rather you were being here!

PS get to bed.

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

I doubt I will be going to bed for some time, only just got in from pub, and a little tipsey to say the least!

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

Sheesh, is that a hardship posting or something?:rofl: I'd swap with you!

Re: Devon, its lovely!
 

You wouldn't like it and I wouldn't want to put you through the trauma, I'm too nice a bloke for that!
