The Trip

On the 20th April Dave and I made the journey to the Ferry Port at Plymouth for the start of our long journey to retrieve my furniture. Taking the night Ferry to Rosscroff ,we had a quiet crossing ,arriving at 8am and promptly headed for Huelgoat, just over an hour away. On arrival we were greeted by Bet & Douglas , Friends who have kept the furniture in storage.After a cup of tea and a chat we began loading the lorry which was hard work. with the loading finished by mid afternoon I took Dave down to the village to have a look around and to see the old house (Dave was impressed). we stopped off at the Brittany bar for a much needed drink, Sitting in the sun outside the bar we soon forgot the time. We were due to have a meal at the Hotel Du Lac at 7pm with Bet & Douglas, realising that we were late we headed up the hill only to be met by B&D coming down, having second thoughts about getting changed we headed to the Hotel where we enjoyed a good meal and more to drink. The following morning after saying goodbye to our Hosts we made the return journey arriving back in Bristol at 12pm.
