After a second short stop, which was partly to allow for
some movement, and partly to get out of the heat. Somewhere in the traffic, the air conditioning
had effectively given up and was blowing warm air into the car. Windows are great for cooling, but not that
good on a day when temperatures reached 27C.
We arrived in Pendoggett around 5:45, the last part of the
directions say “after about 6 miles look out for a pub on the right”, but don’t
tell you it’s name. We spotted the pub
easily enough, but missed the earlier board advertising it (it was on the
left), so went straight past, and had to do our third turn around. The house is not easy to find because the
name plate is obscured by a large fuchsia bush, but we did find it after a bit
of looking. Then there is the challenge of the key safe – easy enough to put
the combination in, but much harder to get the door to open.
Once inside, the house is spacious, and easily suitable for
four, plenty of us two. The Wi-Fi is not working, there is a replacement router coming. Surely it would be a simple thing to leave a note next to the router to let us know - they had to come in to clean!
We had a lovely 3-course meal in the pub garden, still in
warm sunshine beyond 8pm in the evening and followed up with a short walk, then
more unpacking, an hour’s TV, and off to bed.

Peril Index
A Peril Index will be added to the bottom of some posts, to indicate how much (or little) peril we were in. The scale is 0 to 10. 0 is normal life. 10 is, for example, an early 20th century visit to Antarctica.
