It's midnight as the gang gets ready for bed
A Few Days in Spreyton, Devon - 26th October 2013
It's time to visit Fred and Harry's "Grandma J" down in Spreyton, near Exeter in Devon. It's a bit of a late start so we break the journey up with a stop at a becoming-something-of-a-tradition Premier Inn, this time just outside Taunton (we don't get here until gone 11:30pm and it would be another hour to Spreyton). We get to our final destination just in time for the coming of the "Great Wind" of 2013, which actually turns out to be not much of the sort, although it does provide a lot of stuff for Grandma J to fret about. Whilst there, there's a chance to have a couple of beers at the Tom Cobley pub, visit Plymouth's National Aquarium and for the boys to generally hang out with their grandmother for a while.

Isobel shows Harry the way to bed
Fred and Harry run off down the corridor
Isobel gives Harry a lift to breakfast
Harry stuffs his face with cereal
Harry pokes a finger in his ear, as he is wont to do
Isobel has a coffee
Harry in his Skellington suit
Harry climbs the stairs
It's morning, and the boys roam around
The boys watch telly
The boys open the door to reception
In Spreyton, there's a war raging over 'dog po'
Mother and the gang do Saturday lunch
Harry gets Isobel to blow on a hot potato
Mother potters around in the kitchen
Fred shows off a Lego creation
Fred builds Lego in the hall
Isobel in the Tom Cobley
Isobel waits for more beer
A Galilean thermometer
One of Fred's Lego dudes
Fishy stained glass
In Grandma J's lounge
The view from Mother's garden
Fred and Grandma J outside the aquarium
Fred and Gabes look in to a rock pool
Funky flat fish floundering
Anemones wave their tentacles around
An octopus squirms around
More swimming fish
Another spotty flatfish
A delicate jellyfish floats about
Yellow fish tails
A Clownfish in anemones
Stripey spiky fish
A spotty Moray Eel - Grumpy Fish
Another very spotty fish

What used to be the Barbican Wine Lodge

A pair of folorn-looking K6 phone boxes

Time for ice-cream
Fred steps up for ice cream
Isobel gets a coffee
A cliché photo of 'Smeaton's Willy'

The stripey but derelict-looking Tinside Lido

Harry eats fish fingers
Nosher's 1986 pic of the old Harrow Vineyard
A sheep
A faint rainbow
A rainbow over Spreyton
Harry looks shifty
Fred does some drawing
Fred draws on the dining-room table
Sheep through a rainy window
Fred stumps down an autumn-ey path
A light has been laid over in case of storm
An organically-shaped thatched cottage
An Austin A35 drives through Spreyton
Fred outside the Tom Cobley
We look glumly at the Tom Cobley, which isn't open
The path to Chapel Park
Harry looks cheeky at services outside Birmingham
Fred's got a box on his head
Harry wriggles on a changing table
