title The Tom Cobley and a Return to Haytor, Bovey Tracey, Devon - 27th May 2019 intro We return to Haytor, just outside Bovey Tracey, for a walk and an ice cream. The last time we were there was back in 2012, when Harry was still a baby, stuck to Nosher in a Baby Björn. The next day, we pick Grandma J up and head over to yet another café - Café 3 Sixty - which is built into a converted garage and which is now styled as a cycling place, with lots of bikes around and people dressed in lycra. Then, we're off on the 350 mile trip back to Suffolk. In-between all of that, we're out at the Tom Cobley in Spreyton for dinner and beer. imgc3415 Nice flowers outside Mother's place imgc3418 Isobel and Sis in Spreyton imgc3419 Fred plays chess in the Tom Cobley imgc3424 Fred makes his move imgc3425 Sis and Matt look up imgc3426 Isobel scopes out the Cobley's menu imgc3427 Sis and Isobel in the Cobley restaurant imgc3428 Roger the landlord roams around imgc3429 Fred at the back bar imgc3430 The boys run through Spreyton imgp0121 Isobel in the Spreyton Village Shop imgp0122 Isobel hauls the shop booty to the car imgp0123 Mother looks worried in the car park at Bovey imgp0124 We exit the car park through tall weeds imgp0125 Looking up the street by the mill imgp0127 The old mill in Bovey Tracey imgp0128 The boys look into the river imgp0130 Fred walks past a nice mosaic imgp0131 Mother is happy to be somewhere with nice things imgp0132 Mother roams around the gallery imgp0135 Isobel, Harry and Grandma J wait imgp0136 We walk up Fore Street imgp0137 Fred tries out his new calligraphy pen imgp0139 Harry and Fred in the café imgp0140 Fred stares at the camera imgp0141 Mother looks over imgp0142 Grandma J and Isobel outside Brookside Café imgp0145 Harry's on a roundabout imgp0147 Fred peers into the river imgp0149 The bridge over the river at Bovey imgp0151 Harry and Fred on the rocks near Hay Tor imgp0153 Harry shouts at the wind imgp0154 There's an ice cream van braving the elements imgp0157 We head off up Hay Tor imgp0158 The boys run off imgp0160 A dog gets a walk imgp0161 Harry roams around imgp0164 The boys do a bit of climbing imgp0165 Fred and Harry run up to the higher bit of the tor imgp0170 We end up hanging out with some actual climbers imgp0171 People climb over the tor like ants imgp0174 A view of the car park down below imgp0176 Harry pushes into the wind imgp0179 A murky Dartmoor view from Hay Tor imgp0184 Harry and Fred are in a rock shelter imgp0191 Isobel takes a photo imgp0194 Someone in the distance is a dot on the granite imgp0196 People walk around imgp0197 Harry is wind-swept imgp0198 We shelter from the wind for a bit imgp0201 Fred in some rocks imgp0205 Another view of Dartmoor imgp0207 Harry in his Mountain Warehouse coat imgp0209 We head back down to the car park imgp0212 Isobel's hair is whipped around in the fierce wind imgp0215 The boys do some posing imgp0217 Harry and Fred enjoy messing around imgp0219 It's time for an ice cream imgp0220 We march around with ice creams imgp0221 A "you are here" information sign imgp0224 A couple of black cows munch the grass imgp0225 A derelict cottage on the way from Bovey imgp0227 A pile of orrugated iron in the derelict house imgp0235 There's a nice sunset view towards the Taw Valley imgp0236 There's a field of sheep next to Mother's house imgp0240 Political comment about Bovey's community centre imgp0241 The gang roam around on Fore Street imgp0242 We wait to cross the road imgp0243 A tandem bike cycles past imgp0244 An old garage now just sells cars imgp0246 A tap in a glavanised tank imgp0247 Fred and Isobel do menus imgp0248 Café 3 Sixty imgp0249 Fred looks puzzled imgp0252 Walking back to the car park imgp0253 Fred takes his sweater off imgp0254 The hotel has a butler statue outside imgp0255 Harry and Grandma J imgc3431 We takes some of Mother's old things to her room imgc3433 The gardener at Mother's place has bought the dog imgc3434 Isobel says hello to the dog imgc3436 We get a photo with a borrowed golden retriever imgc3437 Harry hugs Grandma J imgc3438 Fred gets a hug imgc3439 The library room imgc3440 We make a wee stop at services on the M4 imgc3441 Nosher's back at work, but at least Kokodoo Korean van is in Sheldon Square
