We arrived in Westward Ho! at about six in the morning and dozed in the van until eight o'clock when the reception opened. We soon got access to the caravan. We lit the gas fire to warm the place up and then drove into Bideford for breakfast at Morrisons. Once refreshed and fortified we returned to the caravan and crashed out for a few hours. Nicki and Tracy arrived having driven down during the day and we set off for the venue. My satnav decided to play up, so we missed the turn off and had a detour of a few miles. We headed in the general direction of the Alverdescott and the village hall where the show was to be held. We stopped and asked for directions and endured five minutes of yokel behaviour along the lines of " If I wanted to get to Alverdescott (pronounced the same as Alfred Hitchcock btw)I wouldn't set off from here...."
Eventually we arrived at the venue
The evening was a great success, although it was very cold in the hall to begin. Everyone made us very welcome and bought loads of merchandise including the last of the Nicki Gillis umbrellas. (It did rain a lot while we were there).
After the show we returned to the caravan and got some sleep before the next stage of the journey
