We've just come back from a long weekend away in Exmoor. I booked a place through lastminute.com only to find when we got there that it was closed until further notice. Sue thought it was funny - I was distinctly unimpressed. Anyway, after a bit of driving around and with some help from the locals, we found a room at the Anchor in Exebridge.

Not surprisingly for March in Exmoor, we had sunshine, wind, rain, hailstones and snow - in sequence pretty much every hour.

We did all the usual touristy things like walking along the river, going to the seaside and visiting castles. For a change we also took a Landrover tour over the moor to see what wildlife we could spot. Our driver kept telling us there were deer all over the place - they looked like tufts of grass to us. After the tour and driving around myself, we did see these deer, if you can make them out!

I seem to have spent half the weekend visiting various shoe shops trying to get childrens. The photo was from a shoe shop in Shrewsbury who decided to have a medieval display for reasons not immediately clear.

Much more exciting though was all the wedding preperations: venue, menu, music, rings and photographer are all now sorted out. 5 weeks, 6 days to go and counting.
