Your guess is correct Tinky although we will be going to some of the not too far away surrounding areas on some days like Brixham and Dawlish.:)

I've got tickets for a new Radio 4 comedy show being recorded this evening (Olga Koch*, OK Computer), and for Mock the Week recording next Tuesday.

*she's been on QI, Mock The Week, The Now Show, and other TV/Radio comedy shows.

Paignton is one of our favourite holiday haunts Den, and also taking the ferry from Brixham to Torquay or vice versa is amazing. :cool:
