title An Easter Weekend in Chagford, Devon - 12th April 2009 intro Nosher, Isobel and Fred head down to see Sis and Matt in Chagford, Devon. Instead of the 6-hours-on-a-good-day flog down the motorway fighting the bank-holiday traffic, we decide to fly from Norwich to Exeter and get a hire car for the final stretch, a plan which totally rocks, with a much more relaxed door-to-door journey of around 3.5 hours - or about half the time. Once there, we visit the allotment to see what's going on, go out for dinner at The Globe in Chagford and drive over Dartmoor to visit Mother and Mike. imgp4189 Fred gets in to the travelling mood in a suitcase imgp4193 Isobel and Fred head on to the Flybe Dash-8 imgp4195 Fred bounces about on the plane imgp4196 Fred and Isobel on the plane imgp4198 There's a good view of Norwich imgp4200 Matt, Isobel and Sis walk to the allotment imgp4201 Matt and Sis's Chagford allotment imgp4203 A view through an orange pane of greenhouse glass imgp4205 More orange views of Chagford allotments imgp4206 Sis pokes about with something imgp4208 A random shed made out of random stuff imgp4209 Sis and Matt chat about something imgp4210 Sis picks some purple-sprouting broccoli imgp4211 Another view over the allotments imgp4212 We walk through the park imgp4213 We stop off at the Chagford Spar imgp4214 Isobel in the tea rooms imgp4215 Sis hugs Fred in the tea rooms imgp4217 Fred gets some crisps imgp4220 Fred is the centre of attention imgp4233 Isobel, Sis and Matt hang out on a bridge imgp4234 Nosher with The Boy imgp4237 The empty Chagford Lido imgp4238 We walk up the hill past the lido imgp4239 Discarded signs imgp4245 Matt gets down in the undergrowth imgp4246 Pub lunch at Sandy Park imgp4247 Fred with Silky Sue imgp4249 Fred sits around imgp4255 Sis takes her shoes off imgp4256 Grandma J and Fred imgp4261 Fred sits in the garden with Phil the Rabbit imgp4267 Isobel checks on Fred imgp4268 Mother and Mike at The Chapel imgp4269 We have drinks up on the top lawn imgp4271 Mike pours a glass of Vinho Verde imgp4272 Fred's asleep imgp4274 Mike finds something amusing imgp4276 Isobel comes along with a tray imgp4278 A view of the chapel imgp4279 Lunch under a parasol imgp4280 Garden lunch: even Dartmoor has nice weather imgp4285 Mother imgp4292 A basket maker weaves at Buckland Monachorum imgp4293 The gardens of Buckland Monachorum imgp4294 Buckland house imgp4296 Roaming through the bulb gardens imgp4299 Mike, Mother and Isobel on the path imgp4306 Mother strides about imgp4309 Mother, Mike, Sis and Matt in the café imgp4310 Getting cake and tea imgp4314 Back at the Chapel imgp4323 Fred spends time with his grandmother imgp4325 Mother looks over imgp4328 The gang imgp4333 Fred and Grandma J imgp4335 Grandma J and Fred imgp4342 Mother reads a fairytale imgp4347 At Exeter airport, our Flybe Dash-8 Q400 awaits imgp4348 The fire tender is quite so close at hand imgp4349 A Devon town from the air imgp4357 Somewhere over the Severn estuary imgp4360 A small airport imgp4364 The two Severn road bridges imgp4373 The undercarriage, milliseconds before it hits the deck imgp4375 We're last off the plane at Norwich
