Pubs and Boats: [Monday 31st July 2023]
The girls went to IKEA today, while Dad and I did a mini pub tour or Topsham - the wonderful Bridge Inn, followed by the ferry to the Turf, then we walked back from there. Didn't take a lot of photos though as I was mainly focusing on video.

Gusbourne and Geese: [Tuesday 25th July 2023]
Actually quite a momentous day - I told my boss I was considering quitting, and was going to take a week off to think about it. To help clear my head I went and sat down at Bankside, with a bottle of Gusbourne's Pinot Noir, and eventually there met Andrew and an eccentric guy who wander around London feeding the geese, who it turned out had originally also worked for big Silicon Valley tech companies. Quite a surreal evening.
