Checking out soon. Just have to lug all my stuff out to my car, have a cup of tea and a slice of toast, pay my landlady for the extra night and then drive in the wrong direction for half an hour to get to the nearest Tesla charger.

An overshot water wheel beside the Museum of Dartmoor Life

The narrowest kissing gate I've ever seen, I think quite a few modern people would not easily pass through it

I didn't notice who this gentleman was beside the entrance to th Museum and Tourist Information counter

In the covered alley between West Street and the Museum are a number of mosaics, some by a professional artist others by local children

On my way from Exeter to Lifton I stopped at Okehampton. Checked the charity shops, was strict with myself and didn't buy anything. Had a machine made mocha and a slice of sponge cake in the Well-Being community cafe.

The mocha wasn't especially good but I've had worse.

Today's outfit is not so very different from yesterday's, just a tartan skirt instead of the red Zara mini.

A great start to your day then?

@22Michelle Well there was no rush. The next place was only an hour's drive away in the right direction. Even with the detour to the Tesla Centre at Exeter, a stop for coffee and cake and a wander around Okehampton, an unnecessary stop at the Tesla Supercharger at Lifton to top up, and a stop for groceries at the Strawberry Fields farm shop, I was still a couple of minutes early for the official check in time at 15:00
