Well Ive done a few other things since I last posted, one of which is get a new camera after I slipped over and fell on my old one at Tarr Steps. Unfortunatly this camera has a pretty stupid way of interfacing with computers and I cant seem to access it, so no photos for today.
Last tuesday, my cousin Philip, his girlfriend Tracy and I went up to Ilfracombe with the intent on taking a ferry over to Lundy Island (the island to the west of Ilfracombe). Unfortunatly, due to the ferry leaving 10 minutes early we missed it and spent the day looking around Ilfracombe itself which also had a lot to offer. We took a ferry ride east along the coast before going and having some lunch and visiting the Tunnel Beachs. The Tunnel Beaches are a series of tunnels carved out of the cliff that link to several beaches on the other side; they were built in the victorian ages, back when men and women had to have seperate areas to swim in.
We finished the day by taking a walk up to the point that overlooked the town, giving us an awesome view of the Ilfracombe itself and its surrounds.
Last friday I came up to Chichester in Sussex with my aunt and uncle and cousin, Sarah (plus kids). Chichester is my uncle Barry's hometown and is where his father founded and built the Chichester Festival Theatre. Its main theatre houses about 1400 or so and has showed plays starring actors such as Patrick Stewart and plays directed by Lawrence Olivier. As an early birthday present my aunt and uncle bought me two tickets to plays they were seeing; an experimental one called I am Shakespeare and another more traditional play called Hobson's Choice. Both were comadies and I enjoyed both tremendously.
Over the weekend Ive been to a couple of dinner parties with uncle Barrys family which has been pretty cool. They're all a very nice bunch of people. The location of one of them (Justin's (Im not going to even try and work out how Im related to him) 29th Birthday) was in this awesome bar/cellar area, my description of which would not do it justice without photos; in a word: awesome.
Anyways by next weekend I will hopefully be in London, providing I can contact my contacts there. :P
Hope everythings all well back home. Have fun.
