We're off to Devon in July for a family tree-hunting trip. Can't wait.

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.

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:

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!

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

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

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.

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

PS get to bed.
